Steve Jobs is more a salesman
and all those super cool innovations go nowhere unless the rest of the world hears about them and starts using them. i'm totally bored of steve jobs and don't give a shit about him but he did push through a bunch of things that have made the modern world what it is today.
He really didn't really, like the iPad. For so many years the computer industry had been talking about tablets, with components getting smaller. It was expected. Steve Jobs said that only use for something like that is for when you're on the toilet. A couple of years later the iPad was released with all day long media coverage from ALL network TV stations, the type reserved for when somebody like an Obama dies. And what in the tech websites that I visited the comments were basically, "What a disappointment, it looks just like the HP Slate." Fast forward a year later I decided to look up the HP Slate on YouTube, and now the comments from the casual user were, "HP is copying Apple." And the ignorance is just annoying. I really can't think of anything that would not be here because of Steve Jobs, all he did was take ideas that were there and made his cult followers feel good about buying them." He never invented any technological breakthrough.
