THE HAND AS SYMBOL

THE HAND AS TOOL

Steve was fascinated with the amazing abilities of the human hand, simply Intrigued by the hand and how it works with the arm.

Sometimes in a meeting I’d notice him hold one hand up in front of his face and turn it slowly, looking totally absorbed with how the hand is configured and what it’scapable of doing. For ten or fifteen seconds at a time, he would seem completely zoned out on this exercise. You only had to see him do that once or twice to understandwhat it meant: The fingers could be vastly more useful for relaying instructions to the computer than just pecking at keys on a keyboard.
