Steve Jobs, You Will Be Missed

Oct. 5, 2011, marks a sad day for the technological society. Last Wednesday, the world lost Steve Jobs, one the most ingenious minds of our time.

The founder, and later CEO, of Apple died from pancreatic cancer. His passing was no surprise to people informed of his conditions. On Aug. 26, Jobs resigned as CEO of the company because he felt he could no longer carry the load; however, he had hoped that he would be able to continue to work when he felt up to it. Jobs felt that he still had plenty of innovative ideas brewing. Sadly, some of those innovative ideas will surely pass with Steve Jobs.

With the death of Steve Jobs brings about a memorable legacy. Over the past 10 years no one has progressed technology as much as Steve Jobs. Many would say that Steve Jobs perfected the touch screen, which is one of the most popular and practical inventions of the last decade. He brought about the age of the Mp3 player with the IPod,and put CD’s into extinction. Similarly, he created one of the best processing computers of all time, in both desktop and laptop form.

It is fair to say much of modern technology can be credited to Steve Jobs and the Apple Corporation. There is no doubt that in later years he will be remembered as one of the greatest inventors of all time, one who brought technology to a new standard. However, not all is lost; only days before his passing, Steve Jobs left all of humanity a gift: the IPhone 4GS, back and better than ever before.
