Apple co-founder Steve Jobs died on Wednesday at age 56. Can Apple stay technology's cool trend-setter without Jobs ... What happens to Apple now that its iconic co-founder Steve Jobs has passed away? Jobs, who died after a long battle with cancer at the age of 56 on Wednesday, transformed Apple into the world's most valuable technology company by creating path-breaking, cool devices that made millions of consumers salivate over digital technology in a way they had never done before. – First Post


Dominant Social Theme: This visionary changed the world and left a legacy of change that will only grow more powerful over time.

Free-Market Analysis: Probably the powers-that-be breathed a sigh of relief with the death of Steve Jobs. He partnered with friend Steve Wozniak in the creation a mobile, personal computer in 1976. They built it in a garage in California, added the ability for people to store data on a disc, and the deed was done. History changed; the Anglosphere power elite was exposed via the Internet and the rush toward world governance was diminished.

But God help us now! Techno-worship, stimulated by Jobs' focus on design as well as technology, is expanding vastly – as can be seen from the article excerpted above. The emphasis is on "cool devices" – which entirely trivializes what actually has been accomplished over the past 20-30 years. Why should this be so? It suits the agenda of the power elite that wants to reconfigure the emphasis of technology.
The powers-that-be want to change the emphasis. It's to their advantage to focus on the medium rather than the message.
