At the moment, the nearing 80-year-old seems to be focused on big tech names, with Apple and eBay being his latest (pardon the expression) targets. When it comes to technology, almost everyone has a differing viewpoint. Some would love to return to a world before the influx of tech swept in and took our lives with it, a pre-smartphone Mayberry of a world where work was a nine-to-five affair that stopped at the end of the day by general agreement instead of carrying on all day, every day.
