Steve Job’s Place in History. A Small Tribute from a BIG Fan!

Morning Folks!!


Did you notice that the world is turning a little slower today? It is. When mankind loses the likes of Steve Jobs mankind loses something words can’t describe, When I look back, I would have to say he is as easy to replace as Thomas Edison, Ben Franklin or Isaac Newton. In other words, he is irreplaceable.


There is not a human being that is alive that has not benefitted from his visions and ideas. Talk about creating “Jobs”. Job’s created more jobs that perhaps anyone on earth and his legend will live on. What Beethoven is to music, what Shakespeare is to writing is what Steve Jobs was to progress and tech and of course computers and even more.


He may have departed but luckily for us he set a course that will keep producing innovation for more than a decade before the genius fades away.


Steve Jobs changed the world and changed our lives. Each and every one of us. I don’t know another person in my ENTIRE LIFETIME that has had more impact on more people, than Steve Jobs. Until last night......maybe John F. Kennedy.


All I can say is we are all very lucky that he was our contemporary. I admit I cried last night. I did this morning too. We lost somebody more special than words.


I still call for an “International Day of Mourning”. It will be interesting how this all unfolds today and in the days ahead.


I write this on my Macbook Pro. The last thing I set down at night before I go to sleep is the iphone and the iPad, well.....I am surrounded by them. It is part of me. All that since 2007 when the first iPhone came out and CHANGED MY LIFE! Still don't have an iPhone?? What century are you in? DINOSAUR! :-)


Here are my Blog Posts about the iPhone. I saw why it would be the #1 device in the world in my first MINUTE!

When I remember Steve Jobs, THIS will be the image I remember. LAST to market and became #1 with a bullet! A lesson to all.


'Don't let the NOISE of others opinions drown out your own inner voice.' Jobs 2005


Alexander Graham Bell and the others I mention now have a new member. What would 'Alexander' think of the phone today? Jobs did not invent the phone he just brought it to the highest level in 135 years. Commuication today? Watson is that you? Say hello to Columbus too.

    Nice piece, Rick. Saw this on Facebook:
    Steve Jobs was one of three apples that changed the world. The first was the one that Eve ate, the second was the one that fell on Newton’s head & the third is the one that Steve Jobs built.

    Although Apple Records came before Apple Computers, well said Rick! Met his friend/partner Steve Wozniak at the Consumer Electronics Show back in the late 80’s, quite a character!

    Rick,
    Hi,
    We lost one of the greatest transformers of our lives in life time. I am not sure if any one like Steve Jobs will ever come on this earth again. I just listened his death speech & cried how a person could utter his own death by himself”soon I will die…no one wants to die even if he knows his place in heaven..” And that way he left a message for all of us ‘Time is running out, do something great for the mankind before it’s too late! You will be immortal like Steve Jobs’.
