Vatican daily remembers Steve Jobs as 'visionary' of technology and art

The Vatican daily L’Osservatore Romano remembered Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple, as a “visionary who united technology and art”, Catholic News Agency informs.
 
The newspaper underscored that Jobs, who died at age 56 on Oct. 5 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer, “was one of the leaders and symbols of the Silicon Valley revolution.”
 
This revolution was also one of “habits, mentalities and culture.  A revolution that was an offshoot, but not an heir, of the lax ‘70s”  
 
Jobs “was a visionary who united technology and art. True, he wasn’t a technician or an entrepreneur.  He was not a designer or a mathematician. Neither was he the typical nerd or showman. Was he a pirate or a pioneer? History will be the judge. In the meantime, his genius creations remain with us,” L’Osservatore Romano said.
