Steve Jobs was known for his unique ability to blend technology and liberal arts. He believed that technology alone was not enough, it must be coupled with liberal arts to create products that are not only functional but also intuitive and aesthetically pleasing. This philosophy was evident in Apple's products. For instance, the Macintosh was not just a computer, it was a beautifully designed piece of technology that was easy to use.
