Today, we lost one of the most influential thinkers, creators and entrepreneurs of all time. Steve Jobs was simply the greatest CEO of his generation.
Rupert Murdoch
We mourn sincerely and wish his family to hang in there. He was among the first who came up with an idea of putting computers in every bedroom, and after that, he put smartphones and tablets into our pockets, giving new meaning to communication!
Steve Jobs and Bill Gates did a lot concerning computer technologies. But Steve Jobs was the one who defined the decade with iMac, iPhone and iPad; he even changed the way music is sold creating the iTunes. Now a lot of famous musicians sell their music through Internet thanks to Steve Jobs. He made our life so convenient, that we do not have to go to a music store to buy CDs, convert the music into mp3 (or other) format.
Concerning design, Steve Jobs taught us that we do not have to focus only on technologies, but we should also pay attention to entertainment trends. We should also combine the artistic side with the intellectual one and always to be at the happy medium; and the main thing: design is about creating memorable consumer experiences based on popular culture.
Our office stopped working for a moment. We could not realize at once the fact that Steve Jobs has passed away.
We will always remember him as the greatest visionary and a man that gave us products with intuitive interface and with details, which are incredibly worked through. The high quality products made for our moms, kids and grannies in the first place, and not only for geeks.
Also, we share his vision and prinicipals that he spoke out in his famous Stanford speech.
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.”
The world has lost greatest visionary and a good man. Our hearts are too full for words. Goodbye Steve.
@Leslie that was exactly what I was thinking about! I am getting newsletters with all kinds of great features, but since there's is no mac version I can only watch... Today I visited the divine project site and saw this article, and at first I thought: hm... that is kind of odd actually... So @Sergey I can't wait to see what you develop. I hope it will be awesome and indeed a great honor to that man that created such an enormous and reliable technical leap for all of us!
