Still Innovating, Wherever You Are -- Rest In Peace, Steve Jobs
He was a tech icon, and the hero of most of the IT
industry’s greats.
He was the man who revolutionized computers and how the
Average Joe used them; he was the man who saw the potential for regular people
to own computers. With friend Steve Wozniak, they took what used to be amachine that could fill the whole room, and turned it into something that every
family in America
could have. He was the man who envisioned that every family would have a
personal computer, just as TV sets were present in every home. He was a man who
changed the world in a niche you could hardly call “little.”
Steve Jobs led a remarkable life as a visionary. No one
could envision or spot beautiful machines as sharply as he can. He knew what
makes a machine an art form, and with this, he steered the company that brought
the Mac, the iMac, the Macbooks, the iPod, the iPhones and the iPads to the
world. If Acer, Samsung and the other computer companies are striving to create
computers that have chiclet keyboards, it’s the Macbook’s fault. If you notice
more and more laptop models sporting the “no visible screws” look, or a
wafer-thin, sexy profile, be sure that it’s the Macbook Air’s fault.
In short, Steve elevated personal computing into an art
form. He made sure that his side of tech would become more than just a
utilitarian industry. He made sure that it’ll be a utilitarian industry that
came in eye candy form. He made computers sexy.
We join Google and the rest of the world in saying:
Rest in peace, Steve. We’re sure you’ll still be innovating, wherever you are.
