Steve Jobs, former CEO of Apple Inc., passed away earlier today. He was only 56 years old. After a long fight with pancreatic cancer, his condition was only getting worse as the days passed by. After permanently stepping down as CEO of Apple, it was clear that he had no intention of going back. Everyone knew it was coming, but that does not make his death any less tragic.
Jobs reinvented the way technology was used in society by creating an ever-improving line of computers, tablets, portable music players, and of course the iconic iPhone. These products are some of the most recognizable in the world. It is no surprise Apple grew to become one of today's leaders of technology, and much of its success would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication Jobs had for his work. Even as cancer began to take its toll on him, Jobs continued this hard work until the last minute.
He may be gone, but he left a legacy that will surely be remembered for many years to come.
RIP Steve Jobs (Feb. 24, 1955 - Oct. 5, 2011)
