Was it the moment I received my very first iPod shuffle, the long white stick with "Merry Christmas Sarah!" engraved on the side? Was it the moment I attempted to use my sister's iMac, which resulted in me leaving the room confused because I didn't know where the tower to it was? Or was it the moment when my brother-in-law got a job at the company, which sent them all the way across the country? It could even, quite possibly, be the moment I received my MacBook for my high school graduation, which has been attached to me ever since.
I guess, in a way, if it weren't for Steve Jobs, my life would be completely, completely different. And I'm completely thankful for that.
Steve Jobs was a man who got so far due to his simplicity, so I'm going to keep it short. He remains an inspiration. He funded Pixar at a time when no one else would, he was fired from the very company he would end up making the number one in the world, and he dropped out of college because it wasn't giving him the direction he needed.
I can't imagine a world where he's not guiding Apple. We were witnesses to a revolutionary innovator, a man who completely changed computers, technology, and the way we communicate as we know it.
