Steve Jobs

As I am still smarting from buying an ipad just as the ipad 2 is announced, Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being.  The founder and innovative force behind apple died very recently and one begs to wonder what impact his death will have on Apples technological stampede.  In August this year Steve Jobs resigned from his role as CEO of Apple, although this was not the first time he had done so.  Incredibly in his early 20s Steve founded what is now the multibillion dollar company Apple. In 1985 Steve reigned from Apple to form a new company, neither company thrived as well as hoped leaving the market open for Microsoft’s Bill Gates to take a foothold in the Ed Tech market.  By 1996 Steve jobs is back at the helm of Apple and the company begins to flourish yet again, with such wonders as the iPod, iPod Touch, iPhone and the iPad.  What is next I wonder? See the timeline of the man that changed the face of technology.
