Like him or loathe him, Steve Jobs was a visionary. He conceived technologies that are so entwined in our every day lives it's difficult to know how we could now live without them. His ability to make his products intuitive for the casual user opened up advanced technology to even the most technically deficient user.
His "I" technology has led to a mass adoption of smart phone and tablet technology. Today with an IPhone in you pocket you could travel to almost any corner of the world and use the map application to find you way around. You could use the currency converter to see how much things cost, surf the web to book a hotel, download a phrase book for almost any language. The list is almost endless. I travelled Europe in 2003 and these ideas would have seemed almost ridiculous.
That is the impact of a true visionary like Steve Jobs. I hope Apple continues to innovate and test the boundaries of what we believe can be done.
RIP Steve Jobs
