Apple confirmed the sad news of Steve jobs passing this evening. The man that brought you the iPod, iPhone, iPad, and changed everything about technology as we know it has died.
There was a day when you saw someone talking on a flip phone you were envious. I remember my first cell phone. It was the size of a football and weighed about 4 pounds. Now we walk around with a little flat piece of glass that works as a phone, computer, radio and anythig else you can imagine.
In 1997 ( the year I graduated high school) if someone would have told me that we would have something like the iPhone, or a little piece of square metal that holds about 4 billion songs called an iPod, I would have called them insane. Then you bring in another flat piece of square metal that operates like a computer but is touch screen, and anyone (not just James Bond) could have it and call it an iPad, that's just crazy talk.
Well, here we are in 2011 and most everyone has at least owned or used one of the above inventions that was the vision of Steve Jobs. The things he was able to accomplish is astonishing to say the least. He completely changed the way we communicate and live our daily lives. To think that all of this was made possible by a man that spent one semester in college, and started an unknown computer company named Apple in his basement is impressive.
He had a way of knowing what the CONSUMER wanted in a product (something companies today seem to ignore) and was always a step ahead of everyone else in his field.
R.I.P Steve Jobs thanks for everything!
