Steve Jobs - Our World
We recently saw the passing of a
visionary and a great businessman. Compared with the likes of
Franklin and Einstein, Steve Jobs was one of the greatest
innovators of the modern era.
He had a knack for creating products that appealed to both
technophiles and the rest of us.
Arguably the greatest product innovator of the modern era, his
deceptively simple technology was coveted by early adopters and,
crucially, even weaned self-proclaiming luddites onto modern
technology.
This made him an iconic success story for entrepreneurial
capitalism.
Jobs' iPhone had a big impact on the online gambling industry:
it allowed people the ability to web-surf on the move. Online
gaming companies followed suit and the rest, as they say, is
history.
Over the past two decades product innovations at Apple have
created a subset of industries such as APP development
and mobile web standards, in turn generating tens of
thousands of jobs for techies across the globe.
Steve has left a lasting impact on our world. One can only
wonder: what will the future bring, and where will the next
game-changing technology, pun intended, come from?
