Steve Jobs' world-changing innovations at Apple are usually considered to be his marriage of art and technology. Here, the author argues that the major changes in our world resulted from clever business models, especially those that created ecosystems in which other parties could participate. Moreover, we have Jobs to thank for a major world-changing technology: Wi-Fi.
