Steve Jobs
October 6th, 2011 | Categories: Technology | 2 CommentsIt’s crazy to think that a man who revolutionized the way we use technology on a daily basis is now gone.
I do all my personal computing on my MacBook. I listen to music on my iPod every day during my commute to class and work. I was attached to the hip at my iPhone (which now is a wonderfully functional iTouch).
It’s not just me that’s been affected by Jobs and his legacy, either. One can only look at the success of Apple, its many flagship stores, and the abundance of Apple products in our daily lives. One of my professors connects his iPad to a projector to show us videos. The computers in the journalism wing at my school are all iMacs. When I networked with LivingSocial at a career fair, I signed up for their newsletter on an iPad. 99% of the people I know own at least one Apple product.
Obviously Apple will continue to be groundbreaking and innovative in the future, but it’s weird to think that Steve Jobs is gone.

Hi, I'm Manda. I'm a college student studying communications and languages. I like to read, shop, bake, and travel. I have a tendency to listen to my favorite songs on repeat for hours on end. Sometimes I catch myself thinking in a language other than English. 
Yeah, I bet most of us hardly ever thought about him until yesterday, but it’s crazy how much he influenced our daily lives. I wonder if he knows that, if he aspired to that… I mean, most people want that, but I have the feeling that most people who achieve that much influence don’t ever consciously want it.
It’s pretty embarrassing to admit, but I’ve never really paid any attention to Apple ^^; I got an iPad this spring and that’s the first Apple product I’ve owned. And I still don’t really “care” about it. I mean, I use it every day but it’s not like I keep up to date with new launches and updates and such.
But I know a lot of people who are hardcore Apple lovers and I know it has been and still is a very influential and important company. Regardless, it’s always sad when people die :(
