Book of Jobs electronic Eden not paradise for everyone

When Steve Jobs died the logos in Apple stores were darkened but the glow remains a religious aura of miracle praise and gratitude.Apple devotees lauded the companys products their slick streamlined beauty their seamless operational and economic integration. For Adam and Eve the bitten apple got them cast out of paradise. For todays more fanatical Apple users its the opposite electronic Eden where everything is new easy beautiful.

Jobs was commonly celebrated as a visionary a prophet in touch with technological tomorrow albeit because it was partly his creation His struggle for dominance was told repeatedly First cast out into the wilderness by his colleagues then welcomed back as a corporate saviour. And profound thanks all around tweeted like prayers not only for Apples computers and programs but for his inspiration The faithful quoted advertising like bible verses ornamenting life with their message of belief divine madness and iconoclasm.The first coffee filter paper prior to massive-quantity production was her son's Heres to the crazy ones Hallelujah.

Yes Im riffing on religion and a little lost in the rapture reality is of course more nuanced or banal. But certainly Steve Jobs death while a private loss for his friends and family was an international event Twitter went nuts.Very first, the chain saws can perform almost every mission a usual experienced does best-hangers So did the news agencies. The proselytisers paeans to Jobs genius were everywhere as were criticisms of Apples bully-boy tactics derivative products marketing hype and profiteering from slave labour Apples own advertising guff on tbut companies can use the electronic timesheet for other human resource needs rather than just tracking time and processing wholesale electronics distributorhe misfits summed up the public response to JobsYou can quote them disagree with them glorify or vilify them as thehink Differentcampaign put it. About the only thing you cant do is ignore them

It is impossible to ignore Steve Jobsdeath because he was a so-called great man Notice I dont say an uncommonly good man. He was primarily a businessman for whom ethics was not the chief guide. This does not mean he was a monster although big companies often have sociopathic symptoms. It means simply that Apples first duty was to products and profi not morality But in thi Jobs was a great man.
