The world will mourn our collective loss of Steve Jobs for quite a
long while. Steve Jobs succumbed to pancreatic cancer in 2011 but his legacy
still lives on. Steve Jobs will go down in history books as a visionary
individual who transformed our interaction with technology to a rather advanced
one as attested by Moore (2011). His role on fast-forwards technology evolution
is renowned worldwide.
According to Jobs, his
passion (what his heart wanted) was very important to him. He controlled his
own legacy. This was the secret to his accomplishments. He taught us that
uncovering our deepest whys would lead us to transformational results as it’s a
motivational factor to one’s life’s work. We learned from Jobs that following
our hearts leads to enormous financial success as well as leaving the world a
better place.
Jobs embraced ‘eternity’ by
making products that appeared to embody his philosophy. He pioneered intimate
machines like iPods, iPhones, and iPods with uncanny traits of vitality
illusion. The systems wake and sleep with memory intact. Even obsolete Apple
models like the chunky MacBooks and Moribund imacs can still be theoretically
tweaked to unveil traces of content of users who lived with them (Adams, 2015)
Steve Jobs will be remembered
as an icon in entrepreneurship. He co-founded apple in 1976 at a young age of
21 and contributed greatly to making it a personal computer mainstream before
being sucked. He later returned in 1997 as the CEO of the company to take it
from bankruptcy to a global juggernaut it is to date. He revolutionized
communication through iPhones and changed the face of music through iTunes and
iPods. His outstanding ability to anticipate trends can only be described as
genius. Jobs was an effective evangelist for apple who steered it to becoming
the world’s most valuable company ("What Is The Legacy Of Steve
Jobs?", 2011). The greater legacy lies on the vision which will hopefully
never fade.
