I was in class yesterday, and we were discussing the death of Steve Jobs when the teacher asked:
>"What are some accomplishments of Mr. Jobs?"
Almost everyone in class:
>"He was the Einstein of our age!"

Personally, I think that is an outrageous thing to say. What do you think, /sci/?

Product marketer not inventor.

That's like saying that Feynman was the da Vinci of his age.

>> No.3864472

No way.

I think Edison is a fairer comparison.

>> No.3864484

I think that's a fair comparison. Jobs is basically responsible for technology being where it is today. What did Einstein invent?...

>> No.3864492

Einstein:
Revolutionised physicsin the 20th century.

Steve Jobs:
Milked the shit out of apple products and died as a goulish- like creature.

Jobs made shit visually appealing. Einstein was purely theoretical.

More like Edison, only he didn't electrocute an elephant.

In public.

>> No.3864501

Am I the only one that is confused by this Jobs loving that's going on? He was a businessman who happened to run a business involved in entertainment and communication.

All this bullshit three days after a nobel prize winner dies, having moved forward immunology a great deal, and no one gave a shit. Fuck everyone, I'm going to the library.

>> No.3864503

what the fuck? NO

steve jobs was a successful entrepreneur and CEO of a poptech company.

Einstein was a genius who revolutionised the basis of physics and the world as we now (still) know it.

I seriously don't give a fuck about steve jobs.

Didn't know that. Gonna post and talk about this everywhere.

Also Fred Shuttleworth died the same day as Jobs. He was a huge part of the civil rights movement in America. The media is too busy covering Jobs to care though.

OP here, that is exactly what the discussion was (supposed to be) about. The professor was trying to shame students for caring about Jobs and not Shuttleworth lol.

This this this. The one thing I will give Steve Jobs was that he was an amazing marketer. He was clearly had the psychology of it mastered. Although his methods were questionable, ethically. Turning a simple fan-base into a full blown cult, for example. Other than that, he was just some rich dude. I wouldn't call him a visionary either, as so many macfags have been. Apple may have been first to actually mass-release tablet PCs, but people have been envisioning tablets since computation was in its infancy.

Jobs was the Westinghouse of our age. That's it. He was a major force in bringing a set of appliances into our lives in the late 20th Century. That's it.

Einstein? Gimme a fucking break.
