He was living them because he was a NeXT user for 10 years at that point, and he was the one who insisted those features be put into the NeXT system, even though it was a computer for non- computer scientists to use, like Steve Jobs or Tim Berners-Lee or millions since then.

Tim Berners-Lee didn't invent TCP/IP or DNS, he just made then useful to everyone instead of a small technical priesthood because he started with the user and worked back towards the technology, which is exactly what Steve Jobs always said you should do. That is what gave us the future, not technology demos. Without the Mac or the Web, we would still have computers and the Internet, but we would be in a very different future.
