If there's anyone you should "worship" when it comes to modern computing, its these people:
Alan Turing
Grace Hopper
Douglas Engelbart
People like that. Real pioneers.
And that's it.
I'd say something of a slur about Jobs being a mere fashion designer but for chrissake he wasn't even that. Johnathan Ive kept Apple afloat with it's little plastic knickknacks, Jobs just gobbled it up and occasionally screamed at people over color shades or angles of a given piece of plastic.
Meanwhile, this interface we're all using?

As We May Think and moved the desktop from Memex Workstation to computerized metaphor.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Steve Jobs has no place in that arc of brilliance. He was a whining salesman with a sadistic, hateful streak a mile wide who wouldn't cross the road to piss on his own mother if she were on fire.
