Why is the passing of Steve Jobs so important?

Asked by missafantastico (685points) October 6th, 2011

I do not negate the contributions that Steve Jobs has made as a businessman and an inovator, but why is his death so significant?

Was this much press devoted to the death of Henry Ford?

Is it due to the nature of his passing, by Pancreatic Cancer? The fact that he was only 56? Or is it something else?
