Steve Jobs: irreplaceable


I cant express how sad I am about Steve Jobs death. When I woke up in the morning, the first thing that I did was turn on the news and it was the leading story at that time. My instant reaction was “Oh noooo” I actually said it out loud as it was something that I least expected. Strangely, I thought about it for most of the day. I do not know this guy but when he presents to the world these amazing apple products, you get a feeling that you know him. I have watched many a key note presentation from Steve Jobs and when you watch the next one its like being reunited with a father figure. I sat down that night to do a blog to show my respects and I really could not write anything. I realised that every single piece of electronic equipment that I have in my room is Apple. Everything that I used daily to get through my life this man had had some sort of responsibility for, presented it to the world and really fell in love with them as much as I had. What also surprised me was everyones reaction. Without sounding too harsh we did all know in some sort of way that this could have happened. Recently he had not been too well and had left his position at Apple. Jobs stated that when he knew the time had to come, he would leave, and he did. You think that we would all be subconsciously prepared for something like this, yet none of us were. I know that Apple will be fine and that it will continue to be a great company but it will feel slightly emptier than usual and I hope that it always feels that way. Steve Jobs was a man that could not be replaced and I do not think that anyone would want him to be replaced. One of a kind that has had such a huge impression on the world. Jobs has made the world a better place and for that I think that most of us will be forever grateful.
