My Idol, Steve

Steve was one my idols, not because he helped build Apple Inc., but rather for his ability to turn Apple into a set of beliefs.

That technology is too powerful of a force to enjoy without acquired perception and natural intelligence.

That product design has the power to momentarily satisfy the never-ending search for order and reason.

Many are asking themselves why they feel so much sadness over Steve’s death even though they never knew him on a personal level. Steve became a symbol for many of us, representing how technology can push society forward. Edison advanced society in the late 19^th and early 20^th century, Disney in the early and mid-20^th century, and Steve in the late 20^th and early 21^st century. Many tears are being shed over Steve’s death because deep down we know it’s unlikely we will see another visionary like Steve in our lifetime.
