Apple Founder Steve Jobs: 1955 – 2011
The King of 21st Century Technology

Share

The charismatic founder of Apple, an icon to generations of Apple fans has passed away, according to a release from Apple on Wednesday. Steve Jobs was a co-creator of one of the first personal computers. Jobs co-founded Apple with Steve Wozniak in 1976. He left eight years later, returning in 1996 to reinvigorate Apple and bring about a string of successful innovations, including the iMac personal computer, the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad. Steve Jobs was instrumental in making computers for the home and for enhanced mobility. A rare visionary has been lost but his gifts to business and humankind will live on.

A rumored illness plagued Jobs for over a year. He resigned from Apple in August, handing his baton to Tim Cook, who appeared at Apple’s recent release of the iPhone 4s. Although rumors were filling websites about the coming of iPhone 5 at Apple’s announcement this past Tuesday, it’s likely that key Apple insiders knew that Jobs was passing. The 4s is the testament to the genius and persona of Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs once said, “Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.” Apple will continue. Jobs’ visions will continue to touch and inspire more people.

The person that helped define popular technology for the 21st century is gone. Sadly, yet happily, we await new individuals and revolutionaries to lead us into the future.

    To the genius behind the best technology the world can offer:
    May your family and friends be blessed in this time of sadness and
    May they be blessed forever and forever carry your spirit as we all in
    the world will. This is what a hard working person whom discovered the gift of Apple
    and loves Apple dearly has to say:

    Steve Jobs get your rest, we will all see you soon.
    In the meantime, we miss you, incredibly.

    Love,

    When I think of the day I first sat down to a computer it was like Christmas! And I will forever be grateful for the innovative and forward thinking pioneers like Steve Jobs who made this possible. To change the world with every stroke of a finger and leave an impact as he did on the world–to leave with such an outpouring of gratitude, well he did his job well while he was here and we are forever grateful!

    There are too little words to express the impact Steve Jobs had on this era! Thank God for visionaries and revolutionaries who change how we see the world and teach us how to creatively use what we take for granted!

    He was crazy about creativity and innovations. The man who was teached people to think different during his entire life, is no more. The news was very shocking for me. Surely he was the king of technology when he was alive. Tech world surely missed him for years and years or decades and decades.

    Program execution might be likened to reading a book. While a person will normally read each word and line in sequence, they may at times jump back to an earlier place in the text or skip sections that are not of interest. Similarly, a computer may sometimes go back and repeat the instructions in some section of the program over and over again until some internal condition is met. This is called the flow of control within the program and it is what allows the computer to perform tasks repeatedly without human intervention.
