| I agree with you. In fact, the comments contradict one another. If they did their homework, they would know Jobs holds many design patents. and this one is funny... "Steve Jobs was not a visionary. He put the dots together and saw where they led." vs. "He created an organization that predictably and reliably created emotionally resonant products." " He made a company that predictably and reliably made blockbusters." "He created new markets that attracted and sustained competitors." " He gave others the freedom to think about what jobs products are hired to do." "He brought engineering processes to works of creativity and the creative process to engineering." I'm not sure how you "make a company" and "create new markets" without being a visionary. All this hype about a geek yet no one really paid attention to another fine gentleman by the name of Ralph Steinman. I am so sick and tired of people like Jobs getting all this attention and maybe I ought to start using it as a stage to remind people that while Jobs contributions to computer science are important, we ought to give the same attention to others who are equally, if not, great contributors to science. I never knew Jobs earned a nobel prize? |
