Thank You Steve Jobs, for the Apples...

Heard on the radio this morning that Apple's co-founder Steve Jobs had passed away. Sad news. Though I wasn't shocked, but I was quite surprised at his "sudden passing". Cos it is known that he was fighting the terrible cancer disease, I was expecting him to pass on that soon. After all, it was only in August that he had announced his retirement from the Apple scene. He's literally work till death crept up...

Before Apple, I always thought that as long as one had a computer, it was considered magic. But after Apple appeared with the iPods, Macbooks, iPhones & iPads, technology took on a completely new meaning. It wasn't just plain magic. It was MAGIC!

Sometime in 2010, out of boredom, I lined up all the apples we had at home (including the green granny smiths). At that point, the iPad hadn't made its way into our home yet. But still, it was amusing & interesting to note that life evolved around the machines named after the common fruit. We talked, listened, played, worked, blogged, surfed, gossiped, studied, travelled, fell-asleep, woke-up with the Apples. It's almost like I would breakdown and standstill if I didn't have my i-something with me. Guess it's really a very big Thank You to Steve Jobs for having done such a good job, changing the world dramatically.

Just to share this video clip which was in circulation some months ago. Steve Job's 2005 Stanford University Commencement Address:
