Steve Jobs Commencement Speech

Via the Get Rich Slowly blog, I watched a potion of Steve Job’s 2005 Commencement Speech at Stanford University (I want to watch the whole thing, but time is tight these days).  I have to say, the content seems inspiring, but for someone who is often heralded as one of the better presenters in the tech world, he reads the speech off of letter paper, which sort of ruins the message a bit (I would have probably been better with just hearing the audio).  Granted he doesn’t have the trademark turtleneck and jeans with a huge video screen behind him, but given he is telling some stories from his life, couldn’t he have memorized this?
