So now; a few days after the fact comes a post with a bit more than just a link with some additive.
From tinkering with computers in his garage with co-founder of Apple Steve “Woz” Wozniak, Jobs made a name for himself as a genius, a visionary, and an icon. From the Apple series of PC’s to the Mac’s to everyone’s favorite “iGadgets” (iPhone, Pad, Pod); jobs has won the world over with his inventiveness and eye for sleek design. For a long time now, Jobs has been nearly synonymous with the whole Apple brand. His face, his voice, his glasses, his goofy shirts, and those blue jeans; they’re all Steve Jobs. They’re also all Apple. Even the logo, originally designed by another co-founder of Apple, Ronald Wayne, we see through Steve Jobs. Now, without Steve Jobs as the Icon of Apple where will we go from here? Graphic design student Jonathan Mak Long gave a new life to Jobs in his redesign of the Apple Logo in tribute to his contributions but whether or not we’ll see the same Apple Inc. after the loss of Jobs, not only as the CEO but also as a mentor, has yet to be seen.
The world was taken aback by his death, others believe it’ll be a very long time before we see “the next” Steve Jobs, but not everyone has good things to say about Jobs. The Westboro Baptist Church plans on picketing his burial like we’ve seen them do in the past with soldiers that have died in the war. Everyone will have to deal with the loss in their own way, and like Apple Inc., time will only tell how things pan out with the loss of a visionary such as Jobs.
