Steve Jobs 1955 -2011.

Steve Jobs was the founder of Apple, and the ex CEO after stepping down earlier this year. Jobs was a revolutionary thinker for his time and the company Apple reflects his ideas.

The most stand out idea to me was in 1997 while the internet was very new to the world and sever based computing or 'cloud computing' as referred to today, was only ever seen in large scale businesses with huge databases of information. Jobs was seen to be thinking into the future and thinking wouldn't it be great if we could do all of our computing from an online server. He thought that this idea would take off as you could have all your storage online or on a sever and your computer could now be the portal in which you access it so no matter where you went you always have your information.
While earlier this year Jobs was seen again presenting on apples product iCloud, where it took the PC or Mac from being this so called portal or hub to being another device so now the cloud was your digital presence and you would use your computer, phone, tablet and any other device to access the your digital information literally anywhere you like.



As many will know Jobs passed away recently, this is a sad moment indeed to lose someone of such genius. i would like to finish this post on ...

RIP Steve Jobs.
