On 5th October 2011 Wednesday, this great man passed away. I wonder how can i feel so much (relatively) for someone whom i don’t even know, or don’t even know my existence. No doubt, he is really one greatest innovator, revolutionist, in my life time. and he is mr steve jobs.
looking at/ staring at/ depending on my mac and iphone everyday somehow made me feel that i do know this person a little bit afterall. in my opinion, when the whole world thought that Microsoft is going to monopolize the world’s IT, and that a phone should only go smaller and prettier, Steve thought otherwise. till now, i had never regretted the day i chose my mac and brought it home in 2007. the feeling is like choosing a pet that you really fancy and wanted to bring it home to live with. thank god i chose it.
in the same year, i bought my first iphone. it was iphone 3 then. prior to that, there was iphone 2 that was rather fail. i got the iphone 3 cos i thought it would be compatible with my macbook (that feels like looking for a suitable partner for your pet). i think mine was the 1st or 2nd Gen. and at that time, people was like asking, why is ur phone so big? it’s ugly! it’s not user friendly! it’s touch screen yucks! it’s fat! okay, look at urself today, are you also taking an iphone now?
thanks Jobs for ur dying spirit that made the macbook/iphone better and more amazing. you brought what was thought to be ideals into this world, definitely changing the lives of many others.
thank you because all these gadgets indirectly/directly made me who i am today (errm im not any big shot though, hahha) and the apple, together with your, spirit lives in our lives.
rest in peace, the great man.
