TAKEAWAY: Steve Jobs, 1955-2011
Much will be written today and in the days ahead about Steve Jobs.
To me he was technology’s Leonardo, Shakespeare, Cervantes.
I cannot think of anyone who has had a more profound impact in the way we do everything from getting map directions, to reading books, newspapers and magazines, to listening to music and playing games.
Specifically, Jobs’ products have defined the way a generation of journalists and designers carry out their work.
He made the world happy with his vision and his products.
A good tribute to him, as we celebrate his life , would be to mention his name today every time we make use of a product that he brought into our lives
The world that he changed so dramatically, and in such a fun way, mourns his death deeply.
As with Leonardo, Cervantes and Shakespeare, we are not likely to see another Steve Jobs any time soon.
