Sorry but I have to jump in on this conversation. This whole Jobs thing really bugs me. There are WAAAAY more people that have influenced technology than Jobs IMO

No it isnt, if it wasnt Jobs SOMEONE ELSE would have brought it. I love how people say "we would not be where we are today if it were not for _____" You think ONE PERSON invented the telephone? WRONG, two people basically invented it at the same time, Bell just brought his patent in before Edison did. Jobs didnt invent the mouse and if he hadnt brought it into large scale use I would bet ANYTHING that someone else would have.
I think the Mouse is a clunky slow device and I prefer a command based OS, THey have always been better and more reliable, but people are STUPD F***s and couldnt figure out how to use them as easily.
Selling products to women and children and dumbass people is not that difficult a task.

While it isnt the same person as quoted by maroman88, Ford REVOLUTIONIZED the world, IMO, that is more important than Jobs ever did
