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

I don't think someone would have done anything with it. Xerox had all that stuff sitting in a room, and it took some people like Gates and Jobs to figure out how great this would be.
To quote Ford, "If I asked my customers what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse."
People didn't even understand why they would need a computer in the 1980's or why it would be useful.
Jobs did a lot. Am I a fan of Apple products? No. But without Jobs, we would be in a much different world then we are today.
