Konstantin Ernst compared Steve Jobs to Hitler: “The iPhone destroyed the world of human connections”

General Director of Channel One Konstantin Ernst, speaking at the “Creating the Future” symposium at the Rossiya national center, criticized Steve Jobs for inventing the iPhone and compared the entrepreneur to Adolf Hitler. The Agency drew attention to his reasoning.

“I believe that the iPhone is an extremely harmful and monstrous thing for humanity. She destroyed the world of human connections. Now you don’t visit your parents, but call. Sometimes this allows you to stay away for months or even years. You also reduce communication with your friends to calls, and then SMS, because calling is not very ethical now. <…> Therefore, in principle, for me, for example, personally, Steven Jobs is in a series of characters among characters, where Adolf Hitler is standing shortly in front of him in line.”

Judging by photographs in the public domain, Konstantin Ernst and his family members themselves actively use Apple products.
