| Steven P. Jobs, 1955-2011 |
Steve Jobs passed away today at the age of 56.
I didn't know Mr. Jobs personally, nor do I think that I would have gotten along well with the man had I known him; regardless he was a man worthy of respect and honor.
I won't go into Steve Jobs personal history here, nor his achievements, however I would like to say that today the world lost a genius, a revolutionary, and an innovator. Whether you loved him, or hated him, his achievements, success, and brilliance cannot be overlooked or ignored. Steve Jobs changed the world as we know it, and the footprints of his being will be felt for years to come. I believe Bill Gates summed up Jobs influence very well:
“The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come. For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it’s been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely.” - Bill Gates
My condolences go out to Steve Jobs family and friends, and all those who cared for him.
Good luck Steve, we'll see you on the other side.
