Well said. Jobs led a rich and well off life, he is just remembered more than those who work in his offices and more so than those who die because of pointless military conquests.

The media wants to salute him, but it is a gesture of choice. I can honestly say that the ideas of Jobs are far less influential upon me than major writers or musicians.

I can happily live without this technology. The man man was a tech nerd and was not a thinker. His ideas have quite possibly helped society become a stupid place. Or at least made it more obvious to great thinkers such as myself that I should keep myself beyond these silly phones. And I shall.
