Remembering Steve Jobs On His First Death Anniversary


Bangalore: Steven Paul Jobs, born as a human, living on as a legend. His journey cannot be anything lesser than odyssey’s. The man realized what we wanted before we understood it ourselves; changing the contemporary consumer technology, and setting the bar for standards. Jobs left us in 2011, 5th October, losing his battle to rare Pancreating cancer. The Cupertino genius was 56.

Imagine what the computers meant for common people in 80s-- some complex electronic device, an obsession of geeky hobbyists-- filling the basement of house by cluttering noise of keyboard. Well, Jobs knew, the computers meant more than that. Now these devises are part of not only office space but of homes too. From Macintosh to latest iPhone 4, his journey never fails to inspire and excite.

He not only brought the change in world of tech, but the way new devices were unveiled to the public. Spectacular! His stage presence completely drew audiences like a gravity which pulled an apple. It was 24th January 1984. Young Jobs, in dark suit and bow tie (his then trade mark), unveiling his brand new device—a beige plastic box called Macintosh, the next big thing.
