No I don't know his face to pick him out of a line up, & I can't see "them" (government of any nation) building him into the day to day teaching curriculum any day soon.
Marketing has played an enormous part of the apple identity, as with any big company that wan't to put itself out there.
A wave of emotion placed upon a man so recently deceased & of whom only a few even properly knew is somewhat questionable, he was part of a large team, apple was not just steve jobs standing on his own, nor was he shiva, apple is a massive machine of many parts & people, all of whom played a role to get it to where it is today.
when you say "icon of his time" ...he is dead, his time has past, there is however a framework & a legacy within the corporation.
Magic
might be if apple corp maybe wasn't such a corporate bully, recognised the folk who build it's stuff beyond mere drones & improved their lot , the fact there is so much wire netting up to stop folk killing themselves, well I haven't seen so much security wire to keep folk in one place since viewing Nazi death camps, or Guantanamo
what would folks attitude be IF that was going on on American soil? ..would folk be so keen on Apple product?
..maybe that's what steve jobs ought to be remembered for as it happened on his watch & beyond, please think about it!
If we are going to have a big shout of stencils to honour folk who've instigated change in the world of computing how about recognising the fathers of it, the pioneers such as..
Konrad Zuse,
1939, IBM management & Howard H. Aiken
von Neumann
Frederic C. Williams (Manchester university), "the Manchester Mark I"
Maurice Wilkes (Cambridge) for EDSAC.
All these folk were instrumental in the development of computing as far back as 70 years ago, therefore in all likelihood throwing ideas around on paper & chalkboard much earlier than that.
My point being he's part of a chain in a series of event & product enabled by those who were there at the beginning of any item that flows & proves useful over time, modernised deemed worthy of investment for research & development.
on another note I think a bill gates stencil
may get mistaken for the kid from "mad" magazine
In the UK we used to have a great reminder of modern change on a £20.00?? note as I recall, & it was something we were taught to understand the point that many hands make light work from beginning to end of a process / product. it was the division of labour by process, ..it being pivotal to current shape & form in many ways.
Oh & he didn't invent the MP3 player either.
No, i'm not back.
