    Dude, you really need to brush up on your history.
    I know you are a young guy. It was APPLE that was in the schools when people like me and Clutch were kids.

    RIP #stevejobs. All benefited from his genius. Either you were
    inspired by his vision, used his products, or your products copied from him

    From one Wizard to another. :(

    The only reason I say accelerated is because I assume it would have been visualized eventually.
    Considering the resources that pioneers of his type are given in this era.

    I mean back in olden days, if Ben Franklin or Edison weren't around it would be hundreds of years before someone else conceives it.
    In this day and age, it's really only a few decades give or take.

    Well, thanks for brushing up on that.
    I'm not familiar with technology used by schools, so I assumed otherwise.
    Its much different now... we got cheap Chinese manufactured crap in our schools...
    At least the OS is Windows.

    I was about to say. It would have eventually happened b/c there was already computers. To say he is next to Edison just blows my mind.

    I'm just saying.
    I'm not trying to downplay Jobs' importance.

    You have to look at this thing proportionally through time.
    Nobody is going to invent the lightbulb, wheel, or something equivalent to that.

    Mr. Jobs had a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, basically a certain death sentence. The one and five year survival rates of that cancer are 25% and 6%.

    As soon as he was diagnosed, he was certain to be death within months.

    Yeah schools don't use Apple anymore.. anyways I've been a big Apple-hater for most of my life, and a Microsoft fan (aside from the xbox 360). That being said, this man was a genius.
