Steve Jobs passed on October 5th, 2011. "Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve Jobs leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple," reads a statement from Apple's website.
Jobs has been fighting a battle with pancreatic cancer since 2004. This comes as a shock, but was somehow expected. Steve Jobs' cancer has forced him go on medical intermittently. In August, he resigned as CEO of Apple. "I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come." Jobs was 56 when he died.
Jobs's time at Apple will not be forgotten. He has revolutionized personal computing, digital music, and mobile devices. Jobs ensured that each of Apple's products would be crafted with elegance and technological innovation in mind. iPods, iPads, iPhones and Macs easily became the must have items of this generation. These products were functional and enjoyable. Jobs accomplished much in his life. Jobs brought Pixar to the forefront of animation and founded NeXT, an object-oriented software company.
Steve Jobs leaves behind a legacy of success. His impact on technology will continue to inspire his millions of people. He was a father, friend, and innovator. Steve Jobs will be missed dearly.
App-Source would like to thank Steve Jobs for his contributions to the world.
