Steve Jobs has died. The passing of a visionary. I don’t want to degrade his memory by turning his death into news fodder. But I do want to mark it down on my blog.
Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has passed away at age 56 on Oct 5, 2011.
To me, he created. He literally created the market that his products thrived in, and others followed.
Steve Jobs brought Apple from the brink of bankruptcy to become the biggest company in the WORLD.
He created trends and completely new categories of products and market segments, that competitors had no choice but to follow.
There are companies and there are big companies. But with the same amount of resources or more, none has been able to reinvent the technology scene like he did.
This will be the passing of an age, and I don’t think we’ll see another Steve Jobs for a long time.
May he rest in peace.
