If we're comparing it to things as ubiquitous as computer technology itself and electric lighting, then I don't think it is unreasonable to point out that the relatively exclusive nature of the ipad puts it at a disadvantage in such a contest.

Thomas Edison did not invent electric lighting.

He made it ubiquitous.

…kinda like how Jobs makes all the ideas he's accused of 'tweaking' ubiquitous?

I will repeat myself and again state that I am not saying that Jobs did not have an effect on society.

I am saying it is not on the same order of magnitude as fucking electric lighting.

Why must this be difficult?
