"After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting. It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5ยข deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it." - Steve Jobs, Stanford Commencement Address, 12 Jun 2005. A nice site on Steve Jobs with his bio, pics and more - allaboutstevejobs.com/index.html |

Felt sad when I first heard the news that Steve Jobs is no more.Even though we have just only mac book, iPod and iTouch in our family, his influence existed. Never bought iPhone as company gives paid blackberry but always discussed about it. The kindle purchase didn't happen as preferred to buy iPad and then kept waiting for improved version.
No one can deny his influence in culture for the last decade. Music, computing, phone, e-reader, animation he touched everything.
He was a cultural icon who will be remembered like Edison even after 50-100 years and such people come very rarely.
