This quote of his from 1996 now seems to carry just a little more weight..

“The problem is I’m older now, I’m 40 years old, and this stuff doesn’t change the world. It really doesn’t.

I’m sorry, it’s true. Having children really changes your view on these things. We’re born, we live for a brief instant, and we die. It’s been happening for a long time. Technology is not changing it much — if at all.

These technologies can make life easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups, get medical information, the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I’m not downplaying that.

But it’s a disservice to constantly put things in this radical new light — that it’s going to change everything. Things don’t have to change the world to be important.”


- Steve Jobs

RIP


I am really surprised Apple has yet to create a device that has the ability to cheat death.


RIP Steve from a PC 4 life dude.

He was a true visionary in a world full of imitators. He was truly unique. God bless him....
