Steve Jobs is Dead. Long Live Steve Jobs.

[additional-authors]
October 6, 2011

He is Apple.

He is Pixar.

He is iPhone, iPad, iPod, iMac and iTunes.

He is every font you see on every computer and smart device in the world.

He is failure redeemed.

He’ll be in the music you listen to, the apps you can’t live without and of course, the finger swipes on your smartphone – everyone’s smartphone.

He’ll be in the movies you have yet to watch, but are guaranteed to love because of their authenticity.

He’ll be in your disappointment when a device advertised to help, hinders instead.

He’ll be there when you finally decide not to let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own.

He’ll be there when you’re ready to put a dent in the universe.

Steve Jobs may have died today but fortunately for us he’ll be back tomorrow.

Steve Jobs is Dead. Long Live Steve Jobs.
