Are we really doing this every year?
That’s no disrespect to Jobs or those who were connected to him, but there surely has to be a point at where the line is drawn with these anniversaries. What is Apple, if not a business?
Yes Jobs was highly influential to Apple’s successes, but equally he was a human being who drove others to create their best works, and I’m sure if he were still here he would laugh at the idea of people idolising him in these manners.
After all, do we highlight the anniversary of Henry Ford’s passing? Albert Einstein? Alan Turing? Or other geniuses that have come and gone?
Just some perspective, we shouldn’t forget that this was a CEO who sold consumer electronics, not a Demi-god.
