Just a day after the release of the iPhone 4S, one of Apple's greatest innovators passed away: Steve Jobs. Steve was the co-founder of Apple and left our world too early at the age of 56 after battling cancer for serveral years. He revolutionized technology through his design, marketing and creation of personal computers and mobiles. Jobs is known as the man who forged Apple into a powerhouse and shaped how people listen to music and how they use computers.
In 1976, Wozniak and Jobs opened Apple Computer Company. The tech giant's spectacular rise, fall and resurgence would mirror Jobs's own life. Many credit Apple, and also Jobs, with changing the perception of what a computer can be -- from a high-tech tool used only by the business or science world to a commonplace device used by ordinary people. Jobs was named CEO of Apple in 2000. He jokingly referred to himself at the time as the iCEO.
Noticeably fragile, he had stepped down from Apple in late August to deal with the effects of an unspecified illness. Jobs had been treated earlier for pancreatic cancer after first being diagnosed in 2004. His innovations, ideas, and personality will be dearly missed by not only his family and friends but society and the number of people his inspirations have touched.
Rest Peacefully Steve Jobs,
