Steve Jobs, co-founder and CEO of Apple, died yesterday. I know this is common knowledge, but I feel like I need to record this moment somewhere so I can remember this day. I'm surprised at how emotional I feel over this loss, but when I look back, I realize Steve Job's influence has been with me over the course of my entire life: the MAC computer we used to use in the back of the room when I was in grade school, the computers I used throughout college and my first job out of school, the iMac, the iPhone, the iPad. My three-year-old son uses Apple products like they are second nature. And that's because they are designed to be that way. (I remember one time I was using my Dell laptop and Will walked up to the screen and started poking at it with his finger and trying to "swipe" things to make it work. I had to explain to him that THIS laptop did not operate like the iPad. He looked baffled). So thank you, Steve Jobs, for changing technology and the way we interact with it for the better. And for being such an inspiration to me and the next generation to come.
RIP Steve Jobs. Your passion, genius and innovation will be missed.
