From 'Steve Jobs: The guru behind Apple', Belfast Telegraph, http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/story.jsp?story=667461 quote:Jobs doesn't believe that technology is going to change the world. "This stuff doesn't change the world. It really doesn't ... Technologies can make it easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise. But it's a disservice to constantly put things in a radical new light - that it's going to change everything. Things don't have to change the world to be important."

So then finally, what is the last piece of technology that he acquired - not made by Apple - that really delighted him? He pauses for long seconds, looks down, puts his hands on his knees, looks away. "I actually bought a bicycle recently. It's just ... wonderful."
