Steve Jobs, 1955-2011
Steve Jobs has died today; October 5th, 2011. There are plenty of stories around with the details, I just wanted to share a couple of thoughts with you. Nothing silly though, I’m being serious here.
Steve Jobs did amazing things for the world of technology. If not for him, I might not be sitting here typing this as I am. The electronic world could be a vastly different place if not for the ideas and drive of Steve Jobs. He leaves behind an amazing legacy that will keep his name in our minds for a very long time. We owe it to him to make sure we remember his many, many contributions to society. Remember just how much you enjoy the use of those little gadgets or computers that wouldn’t be what they are without Steve Jobs – computers and gadgets that have driven amazing feats of technology all over the world.
It doesn’t matter what kind of mobile phone you use, which brand of laptop you prefer or even whether or not you own any of them. His imprint is everywhere, all around you. In the grocery stores, assisting the employees with tallying up your 3 carts of groceries. In the doctors’ office, running the system that’s performing laser surgery on your eyeball. In pretty much every business in every city, in every school, etc – you will find something that Steve Jobs helped bring into creation in one way or another.
Take a moment to appreciate the gift we’ve been given and don’t forget who helped make a reality of that fancy little phone in your pocket (that you live on!).
Rest Well Steve Jobs – from everybody, everywhere.
