It did help that Steve was alive during the personal computing revolution. He was a big part in shaping it but it was also just a good time to be in his position. There's not been the same kind of thing for a while. His death came as personal computers had managed their way fully into our pockets. Now there are new technologies, but nothing I think we all agree is as ubiquitous as the PC. Even AI is hard to sell because unlike the word processor or the portable music device, AI isn't always functional, and so it doesn't feel as much like a complete solution. Technology is suffering more and more from itself lately, and I really hope a leader will emerge and help us take an honest look at ourselves and what we accept in terms of usability. No more cookie warnings pretending they solve privacy issues, but complete overhauling of contracts and agreements between technology companies and users, just as an example.
