I’m getting a little sick of seeing Americans light candles and placing flowers outside of Apple shops just because this guy died. That is a little sick, if you ask me. This guy was a businessman and a very successful one at that. Good for him. But he certainly was not a saint and, aside from selling a lot of computers, didn’t really make mankind any better. Did the invention of the car make man a better man? Did the invention of telephones make man a better man? Did the invention of airplanes make man a better man? These are technological advances that, while they allow mankind to lead a more cushy life, doesn’t really change the nature of mankind. So let’s knock of this stuff that some guy who made a living hawking computers was the second coming of Christ. Computers may have made our lives more convenient, but they didn’t make us better people. So save the candles and the flowers and the love notes outside the Apple stores, please. Save it for the few people our current culture thinks really deserves it, like Lady Diana…(that was a joke, if some of you weren’t paying attention).
