Apple-ution

This morning, I woke up to my alarm, checked the weather on my weather app, checked my email and facebook on my computer, ate breakfast, plugged my iPod into my ears and turned on my music before I went for a walk. Now besides eating breakfast, all of my activities that I did this morning involved an Apple product. In our society today, a majority of activities done by people, no matter how simple or complicated, are completed with some type of Apple technology. With the passing of Steve Jobs, our world is now wondering, is our world at a standstill in the technology world, or is someone going to step up and continue to revolutionize?

 In my opinion, Steve Jobs made some of the most versatile products, the iPad in particular. Never have we been able to do so many things with a single device. From writing a paper to checking emails to simply just playing a game, the the iPad has provided us with a unique opportunity to do things in one convenient location. With this innovation of technology, as well as countless others, Steve Jobs has revolutionized the world.

Our world is now a changed place. We are more productive and innovative than ever. Apple products are used to do just about anything. If Jobs had been able to continue his career, I wouldn't of been surprised if Apple had come out with a ridiculous product like the iToilet...


With Steve Jobs around, I believe that anything in the technology world was possible. But now that he's gone, the question remains, what now? Is our world going to remain this way, or will somebody else step up? The answer, I believe, is somewhere in the near future...

  1. I definitely think the whole world is wondering what will come next. With the passing of Steve Jobs, opportunities for new people to step up and fill his place are opening. Also, because of his innovations, he's cultured a whole new way of thinking and creating which will lead not only to people filling Jobs' place but also creating new niches in the consumer/technology world. My question is when these when the new stuff is going to start happening..

  2. I have a strong feeling that Apple will continue to grow because unlike other major companies, Apple had time to prepare--Steve Jobs had time to prepare. According to the Chicago Tribune, "Apple and Steve Jobs planned a training program in which company executives will be taught to think like him, in 'a forum to impart that DNA to future generations." This "training program" was a way for the future Apple to continue without Steve Jobs. It will be very interesting to see how much of an impact this "Apple University" will have. From what Apple has been able to achieve in past, I'm sure it will only exceed our expectations.
