Steve Jobs died today. Age 56, founder of Apple, and developer of the computer
I am working on. He helped change the way we communicate with each other.
He brought us closer together. His Apple products are spread all over the world,
and because of that the world knows us better as a country and as individuals.
Some will say that "Arab Spring" is a direct result of the social network that has
been built on these products. We do not write any more, we "Tweet", "I Chat", or
"Skype". Imagine two bio-chemists on opposite sides of the world discussing what
each is thinking about, in order to reach a common goal. Mr Jobs created a whole
new paradigm for us to live in.
Consider what is happening outside of Wall Street, on Main Street, and across the
country. How quickly those protests were developed through the web and our ability
to connect with like minds. Regardless of the result, thank you Mr. Jobs for having
created what you did. I hope that those who follow can keep your dreams alive much
as Walt Disney's family did for him, even though he did not live to see Disney World
open in Orlando.
