Re: The Education of Steve Jobs
I posted the link on Facebook in hopes my brother in law Eric would comment. Eric never went to college and was self taught in computers...he will soon retire from IBM...with several patents behind his belt. He is brilliant. If you want me to, I will find out what his patents are.
Anyway Eric writes:
His story is interesting, but some of the coverage of him is getting uncomfortably close to deifying territory. The technology he innovated is great for personal consumer empowerment, especially in wealthier societies, but I don't see a big impact on the core technologies that have advanced human infrastructure. (Us big infrastructure computing guys always feel a little miffed at the attention Apple gets :) )
