Jobs

-Jonathan Mak

Its been about 10 days since the passing of Steven Paul Jobs. It has been a long emotional roller coaster these few days. From the initial denial, to a period of grieving and then acceptance and re-entry.

This is a man who didn't change the technology world, he created it. Just take a look at the things that we take for granted that were somehow related to him. The mp3 player, the personal computer, the laser printer, the digital camera. He took markets that existed and transformed it like the tablet market and the mobile phone market.

Then we have industries that are not tech related that he changed too. The ebook market, the digital content market and not forgetting the movie industry with Pixar.

He enabled the common man on the street to start creating content. He was not about the hardware, nor about the software. He was about the experience.

In his passing, instead of mourning his death, let us celebrate his life and carry on using his creations like he intended. Let us learn from him; His attention to detail for one, is unparalleled.

To the late Steven Paul Jobs...
