On August 24th, 2011, STEVE JOBS resigned from his well remunerated CEO-job at APPLE.
Although I admire Steve Jobs as an inventor, creator and as a genius in his profession, I hate the global consequences of his Silicon Valley output.
Steve Jobs is a tough worker: he called a variety of issues into existence and has left an important legacy to this generation. Probably APPLE will have a hard time recovering from his disengagement, once all his ideas have been marketed.
But why do I hate the consequences of his outputs?
Eric Burdon & War describe my feelings in their unmatched long performance of “Tobacco Road”, one of the best songs ever. The Lyrics ( revealing his dream and his conversation with GOD) are self-explicit:
"I heard a voice tell me, i heard
a voice say to me it said "What do you want?"
I said I want to change it
because it's wrong I want to change it
because I believe it could be better
and the voice said to me
What makes you think that you are man enough to change anything?
I thought for awhile
and then I spoke out loud and I said to it
I said
Because I am a man and I'm a part of the things that are wrong!!! And if this world is goin' to go on I gonna have to put it right!!!"
Steve Jobs is a HOIPOLLOI- Idol working under following premise: make complicated things simple, affordable and attractive, so that every single idiot can and wants to manage his latest creatures.
The APPLE-figures are fabulous; however Jobs` chimeras are contributing, on a medium-long term, to the burgeoning of the DPMWS (Dumb and Passive Misconstrued Welfare State), being partially responsible for the mass-idiotization and control of this and next generations. (take as an example the Black Berry-dependency, already called the "modern symbol of slavery.."
From Internet I quote:
"BlackBerry’s name originates in the times of slavery in America. When there was slavery in the United States, a black iron ball were put the slaves on the feet for to prevent escape. It was not a perfect ball, very irregular and pockmarked, with a chain and shackle at the bottom, so they could not escape running from the cotton fields. This iron ball was called “BlackBerry” (blackberry, black cherry) because it resembled that fruit. That was the ancient symbol of slavery, saying that he would be forced to leave his life to perish without escape of these plantations.In modern times, new employees can not be tied to an iron ball, however, are given a phone, “BlackBerry” and are wirelessly tethered to the shackle, which like slaves, can not set aside and that is bound to work all the time. It is the modern symbol of slavery." Unquote.
These are Eric Burdon`s “things that are wrong”, and that`s why I hate the hoipolloi-electronic iDiot-devices presented by a hoipolloi-man in a black sweater and 501-denim jeans.
Probably I`m the only one in this world…,or not?
Three years ago, I strongly criticised The Bulli and MADRID FUSION, as being a cooking Circus for snobs and a Paradigm of Pluralistic Ignorance. I was the only one then! Nowadays, the global press is criticising the Deconstruction Cuisine as a very stupid story..
Steve, it´s very unlikely you ever would read this post but, as an inventor and creator myself I could give you some tips for a real pratical and brandnew Non-Hoipolloi APPLE_device/application that would help youngsters find their way into society and elder people get linked to modern technology: the iGotit.
Interested?
