So if something doesn't help every single person in the world, rich or poor, it's not a contribution? Wow, you have some high standards.

- burgerbrain 15y agoIf 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.
- mikeklaas 15y agoThomas Edison did not invent electric lighting.
- burgerbrain 15y agoHe made it ubiquitous.
- mikeklaas 15y ago…kinda like how Jobs makes all the ideas he's accused of 'tweaking' ubiquitous?
- burgerbrain 15y agoI 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?
- catfish 15y agoCorrect. And Yes. If its not effective for all, forever, its just a blip on the time line. A thousand years from now we will remember Einstein. Jobs? Not so much...
