You know…(long pause). I’m trying to think of a good analogy. When we were an agrarian nation, all cars were trucks. But as people moved more towards urban centers, people started to get into cars. I think PCs are going to be like trucks. Less people will need them. And this is going to make some people uneasy.

I think this is a great analogy, and perhaps Steve could have carried it even further: as people move into city centers, owning a car becomes unnecessary because alternative modes of transportation like mass transit or cycling become more efficient and less costly. You may lose some flexibility when you move from owning a car to taking the subway, but for most city dwellers, the tradeoff is more than worth it.
