Remembering Steve Jobs

Today the legendary Steve Jobs is no more. A legion of fans, nations and the future of technology mourn. In the past decade, no one came close to Steve Jobs in re-invigorating technology and helping in changing the global markets forever. Jobs instilled a sense of competitiveness and challenge to so many of Apple competitors that drove them to innovate more to compete with Apple’s path breaking products. In the last few years when the global markets were down on optimism, companies were going bankrupt and unemployment was on rise, one company withered that entire storm by continuing to introduce products that were beautifully crafted and which appealed to young and old alike. Jobs through his innovations instilled a sense of optimism and a beacon of hope to many who thought technology will indeed come to save the day. It certainly did for Apple, which quarter after quarter reported record breaking profits.

Steve Jobs has cemented his place in the hall of fame of inventors who provided this world with innovations that in a way brought a sense of order to the chaos of information. He will truly be missed. I hope and pray Apple will carry his vision forward and continue to shower this world with innovative products and technology. We need a few more disruptive technologies to bring back the glory of economy which seem to have got lost in the last few years. R.I.P. Steve Jobs
