乔布斯在1996年接受连线杂志的采访时说过这样一段话：

原话：
“年轻的时候看电视，你会以为存在一场合谋：各大电视网串通起来，刻意把大众变蠢。等到年纪稍长你才意识到事实并非如此。电视台做生意，本质就是把人们真正想要的东西交付给他们。这个真相反而更加令人沮丧。
阴谋论反而是一种乐观想法——至少你可以打倒幕后那些坏蛋，发起一场变革。可现实是：电视台只是提供大众主动选择的内容，这才是真相。”

原话：
"When you're young, you look at television and think, There's a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that's not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That's a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It's the truth."
