'End of an era': Apple co-founder Steve Jobs remembered

I just read this article on MSNBC.com and really learned about Steve Jobs and his legacy.

I actually wasn't aware of who he was until his death. I think it was interesting how he grew up with many interesting aspects. First, he was adopted. Second, he was a college dropout, and many others. Jobs seems to me like a stubborn but intelligent man. "A control freak" the article said. I think him being the way he is got him his success. Going through life struggles, like cancer and sicknesses kept him going. Something like a disease, should only make you strive harder, and this showed in Jobs career. I guess all his other businesses and jobs lead him to where he is right now. Jobs wanted to create the technology life ten times better and that's exactly what he did. In my own experience, when his products came out its all I ever wanted. I would have to earn good grades and ask my parents every holiday that I wanted an Apple product. It changed me because I loved the product once I had it and it was fascinating to see what one brain can come up with.

I think the future of the technology has only begun. With one era closing another is beginning. With Jobs' span of ideas and creations, many other products can now be developed and improved. Thanks to him, we have somewhere to start from and only continue. I believe, there is many other ideas waiting to be sprouted. Jobs is an example of one's capability and way of growing. If we can think it we can achieve it. "Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?" –Steve Jobs.
