As I was riding the train this morning, the news released from Apple once again stunned the world; it wasn’t anything about yesterday’s iPhone4S, nor about the future iPhone5. It was the death of their founder, Steve Jobs that had made the headline.
I was a big “Apple Fan” ever since PC was invented. My first Apple computer was “Apple IIe” (Ok, stop guessing how old I am, I still won’t tell you when I own it). My brother and I first came to live in the USA and learn this genius invention by Steve Jobs. My first computer lesson at school (thought you can trick me to tell you of which school, ha ha!) was using his invention. Come to think of it, there are many schools in the states now using iPad for education purpose, Steve Jobs and his genius members at Apple Computer made those changes in our world.
Steve Jobs was known as a visionary of Apple, the things he had done had truly changed the way of our living, even our thinking. He once said: “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” This golden phrase had revolutionized the way we make things in nowadays, and we owe it all to Steve Jobs.

Someone said on twitter and I quoted: “ RIP Steve Jobs. You left your mark on our desk, on our ears & in our hands”. This is so true in my case. I used to own an Apple IIe, now I have ipod for music, iPhone4 and iPad2 in my hands. If yesterday’s announcement of iPhone4S is about “iPhone for Speed”, I’d say today’s is “iPhone for Steve”. Steve Jobs, a true genius of our time, you will be missed.
My first apple PC was iMac G3. It helped me to draw graphics on it and I started to learn how to write codes on it.
iPhone4 is my first smartphone. I found my true love – Twitter – because of this invention. Now I am using iPad as a treat or punishment to discipline my children. It certainly changed the way I work things around my house.
My first computer was not Mac, but now I’m using MacBook.
In my opinion, Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod are not always the best product.
But they all are designed with the Apple common policy,
therefore their users may not so confuse (I’m saying modestly, of course),
in other words, they have common, and good (and simple) usability.
Design and Usability.
These are very important, and I think he had made a change of that in the world.
RIP Steve.
Thank you for the comment, Yes, simplicity makes Apple’s products so Chic…in a trendy way.
