That's not the real shame...

The real shame is the greivous failure of our education systems such 
that most people are not even aware that there are issues around this 
technology that they should be asking some very pointed questions 
about.

Steve Jobs, et al's great success is not that they design such sexy 
kit, but that they so trivially redefined such a significant chunk of 
the computing eco-system while, ever so ironically, becoming the evil 
empire that the famous Macintosh "1984" advertisement suggested they 
were saving the world from.

And catch Jobs' comments about "freedom" around the 3:20 to 4:00 
segment of this:
