Steve Jobs: The Apple Has Fallen

In life there is death but Steve Jobs will live on forever in his legacy that is Apple. Steve Jobs has given the world access all areas to the internet and it wonders through the development of the iPods, iPads, Macs and iPhones. I remember having the 1st generation of the iPod touch glued to my hand 24/7, the app’s that helped me achieve correct spelling, learn German and even those that were quite frankly useless such as finding the nearest McDonalds’ or even those several weather apps that always have it wrong. The Apple technology available has become some of our best sidekicks and we become reliant upon them. They hold our photographic memories; the songs that make us see daylight on a gloomy day and allow us to access the most bizarre of apps.

It’s questionable whether or not Jobs could have done much more with his time at Apple by developing technologies that help benefit the military, government and health care, yet most if not all industries should have access to Apple products because they allow the freedom to be mobile yet still have all the information needed, provided. They also could benefit from many apps available. However, it clear that many apps are unnecessary and that the technology has all of a sudden got out of hand with many people developing apps that could harm us such as those that hack other peoples wireless or those that can hack into people passwords. Whilst those choose to do this it shows that many people have forgotten what Apple technology was all about as ‘Sales have started to fall, though, as more people carry their music on smart phones, which is why the iPod Touch is not just a music player but a games machine, web browser and communications device’ suggested by Shane Richmond (Telegraph article).

I would be a hypocrite if I told you that I haven’t used iPod’s for just music alone but it was vital to make that development for technology to advance and to keep Apple alive in business. With access all areas to the internet, it’s the Apple products that begin our wonder into the world of network media without having to be stuck in an office desk in front of a computer. iBelieve that Apple has made the internet far more appealing and accessible through the gadgets they have created.

Our freedom to browse, use pointless applications and explore have been made possible by the man, Steve Jobs who will always be known to me and many others as the Sir Isaac Newton of the 21st century.


RIP Steve Jobs (1955-2011)
