Steve Jobs’ Legacy
Steve Jobs wasn’t just a “computer guy” or business man. He was a genius, an inventor, a true visionary among the greats like Henry Ford or Thomas Edison. His influence was felt from the smallest startups to the biggest tech companies and transcended the boundaries of operating systems and computer platforms. He was a creator, an artist who painted a vision of how technology could enhance our lives rather than be controlled by it. He inspired his employees (either directly or indirectly) to always push the envelope further. He rescued Apple, a company he started in his garage 20 years prior, from the brink of collapse in the mid-’90s and turned it into arguably the most influential tech company in history (recent history at the very least). Whether you love or hate Apple’s products, whether you agree or disagree with Apple’s disciplined approach to product design, there is absolutely no denying the impact Steve Jobs and Apple have left on the world (tech and otherwise). He leaves behind an amazing and inspirational legacy that will last for generations to come. Just because he’s gone doesn’t mean his impact on the world has gone as well.
May he rest in peace.
