Great at what he did, and what he did was invent and innovate. I didn't think he was the 2nd coming of Jesus or anything. I didn't ever watch his Apple presentations or join the Steve Jobs cult. But the dude ushered in the age of the personal computer, and then he ushered in the age of mp3 players, then he helped launch the age of computer animated films, and THEN he brought about the standard for smart phones, and then his last big accomplishment, he introduced a device that will most likely replace the laptop in the future.

I mean that's such a large chunk of our modern world right there. It's definitely not as noble as scientists searching for cures and vaccines. These are all fancy first world luxuries, but it really doesn't change the fact that he's changed the way millions of people interact with modern technology.
