Apple was not the first Personal computer or even in the first generation of personal computers so Steve did not really create anything other than a slicker version of something that already existed. Steve Jobs is more of a Don Draper than a Thomas Edison.

I'll agree with you about Jobs. I used him and Apple as an example because they're easier to grasp and everyone know about them.

I still think the point holds though; how can a computer or algorithm know what people want, before they want it? How can machines take a leap of faith?

faith is treating things you don't know like you do.

Computers are great at that.
