A true technological visionary, Steve Jobs, co-founder and former CEO of Apple and creator of Pixar Animation, died yesterday at the age of 52.
The Boston Globe heralded Jobs as one of this millennium's greatest innovators and inventors. The man who brought us Apple as we know it is gone.
Jobs changed the world and technology forever. The iPhone broke foundries and brought Jobs's motto "Think Different" to life. Before this phone was unveiled, cellphones were thought of as purely mobile phones – texting and email were still fancy features.
In The Boston Globe's Arts section, Wesley Morris explored why Jobs was so successful: he made technology less scary.
In this story, Morris said, "Jobs removed the fear and essentially hid the computer: the iPod (computer as record crate), the MacBook (computer as personal office), the iPhone (computer as lifeline), the iPad (computer as, well, we’re still figuring that out)."
Morris contrasted the public love of Steve Jobs with the current backlash against other CEOs in the "occupy Wall-Street" protests. Morris said Jobs was loved because he always seemed to be working for the people.
Whether a "PC" or a "Mac," the world mourned the loss of Jobs, who has suffered from Pancreatic cancer and stepped down as CEO in August in part due to his deteriorating health.
The public took to Twitter and Facebook to give condolences and celebrate Jobs's life. The fact that I first read about Jobs' death on my iPhone and then blogged about it on my MacBook Pro is a testament to his legacy.
In addition to a headlined obituary, The Globe featured a photo timeline of Job's major inventions, both successes and failures – and that was only the first day of coverage.
In the past days after his death, The Boston Globe has covered numerous stories related to Jobs: a health and wellness story on pancreatic cancer and Jobs, a photo slideshow of Boston tributes and letters to the editor about Jobs just to name a few.
A photo slideshow commemorates Jobs's influence on pop culture. He brought us Pixar and the Mac. He told us to "Think Different," and although I cringe at his grammar, I know he changed the future of technology with those two words. While other companies were still looking into making phones with keyboards, Jobs was creating the iPhone – a device that has changed my life.
In his 2005 commencement speech at Stanford, Jobs addressed the graduates about his unlikely path to success.
He said: "Stay hungry. Stay foolish."
Jobs was born out of wedlock, given up for adoption, dropped out of college and fired from the company he started, yet he still managed to change the world.
