Steve Jobs Created...
Recently, someone tried to tell me that Steve Jobs wasn't that great. This person's argument was that Steve happened to live at the right time and just got lucky. Let's look at the history of creations by Steve Jobs and Apple.
- The personal computer
- The computer mouse
- The most popular music player of all time
- The most popular music store of all time
- The first animated film company, which created the industry
- The touchscreen smartphone
- The touchscreen tablet
- The most profitable retail store per square foot
That's a hell of a lucky streak.

Here's the same point, made by Walter Isaacson, the author of Steve Jobs biography:
"[Steve Jobs] revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing and digital publishing. You might add a seventh: retailing, which Jobs did not quite revolutionize but did reimagine."
