A Tribute to Steve Jobs
By Tanner Lee Holcomb
Today, Apple lost its founder and greatest asset. Today, the world lost a genius who revolutionized the way we consume media. Today, I lost a hero. Steve Jobs was everything to me. He was a role model; someone to aspire to. Ive wanted to be like him since I was seven years old. When I read about his death, my heart sank as I prayed it wasnt true. But it was true. And so the tears began to fall.
Apples former CEO, Steve Jobs was a remarkable person; he led his company with a passion and strength that no one else will ever replicate. Steve Jobs brought the world to where it is now, and helped shape the age of technology. He will be greatly missed by everyone.
Im typing this on a PowerBook G4 laptop. Its at least six years old, and barely runs Leopard. Ive always considered it incredibly slow, and hard to use. Yet, I think about how far computers have come in the last twenty years, and how Steve contributed to the great successes. It puts a smile on my face, to know that Steve Jobs brought technology farther than it has ever been, and that Apple will continue Steves legacy.
The world wont be the same without Steve at the helms, to show us the next big revolutionary thing. No other person had leadership style of Steve Jobs, his ability to predict what consumers want, or the amazing and revolutionary achievements that he achieved.
Apple will remain a strong company; announcing advanced products that are more amazing then before, paving the way to new technologies, and revolutionizing the way that people feel about computers and mobile devices. But they have lost their greatest asset. And the world has lost the man who revolutionized the way we consume technology. Me? I lost a hero.
