In what was a sad, yet inevitable event, just one day after the release of the iPhone 4S, Steve Jobs, founder and CEO of Apple, passed away after years of battling Pancreatic Cancer. He was 56.
For decades, Steve Jobs was a one man army that drove innovation, pushed boundaries and inspired everyone.
Without Steve, we wouldn’t have simple things like, the mouse, the GUI, the touchscreen iPhone and the amazing iPad. Behind the scenes Steve pushed Apple from almost bankruptcy to the most successful company the world ever in 2011.
Despite all this success, he left Apple earlier this year due to health conditions, and quickly deteriorated.
Words can’t express the sadness we feel today, we’ve lost a true genius, we’ve lost someone who changed everyones lives, we’ve lost this generation’s top inspiration to simply be better and follow your heart not just in technology, but also in creativity.
Hundreds of years from now, history books will write about Steve and how he changed the world forever.
Steve Jobs, thank you for being you. We know you’re smiling down from the iCloud’s right now.
