Without Apple, I quite simply wouldn’t be the person I am today. I grew up with computers, but I only used them to play games (and very occasionally write letters) until I used a Mac. It was on a Mac I was first inspired to be creative and build things using computers. I designed magazine pages. I drew icons. I wrote my first software program on a Mac, and set in motion the wheels of my future career, and it was on a Mac I designed and built my first website.
Steve Jobs has died, but his vision and drive live on through millions of people like myself, who were captivated and inspired by the products that he and the many other brilliant people at Apple created. The world is a richer, better place for him having been in it. Whilst our first thoughts whenever we lose somebody may be of how much emptier life suddenly feels without them, the impact they’ve had on us all is still with us, and always will be.
Thank you, Steve.
