This morning, like many people I woke up to the news that Steve Jobs had passed. I've been thinking about it constantly all day -- so much so that I'm sort of surprised at myself.
And I've tried to come up with one simple thought to summarize all that cogitation.
Steve Jobs makes us all step back and reflect on just how much impact one person can have.
And that should be inspiration for us all.
Yes, he had an amazing impact. The biggest change that I think he brought was to really focus on the user experience. And with the iPod/iPhone/iPad, the focus has been on making technology simple for non-geeks. I believe he will long be remembered for showing IT companies how to really build products for the mass market.
