Steve Jobs the visionary in the black
turtleneck, who co-founded the technology giant Apple and led a
revolution in computing. He passed away last month. However he was a man
who had made a great change in the world. There will never be
chief executive like him. He has transformed the worlds relationship
with technology forever.
Below are the great changes he made in our lives and the lives of people to come after us.
1. Design
Steve jobs chased after design rather
than chasing after faster processors. He pursued a minimalistic design
and till today that remains the appeal of apple products. Apple then
started using metal instead of plastic which was mostly used amongst the
computer manufacturers at that time.
2. Music
Apple launched i-Tunes that had changed
the digital music industry for forever. The digital content service that
charged for music, its ease of use and tight integration with the
popular ipod proved irresistible to consumers.
3. The PC
Apple popularized the idea of the
personal computer with the mass produced 8 bit computer enclosed in
plastic that became the most successful PCs of the 1980′s.
4. Revolutionized Tablet
He revolutionized another change by bringing the tablet iPad. The sales of this product rose by 183% this year.
5. The Advertisements
Apple had the most innovative marketing
over the years. With an early super bowl commercial to mac versus pc
stylized advertisement featuring justin long and darkened silhouttes of
people listening to their ipods.
6. The iPhone
The iPhone was the smartphone that had a
large responsive touch screen,a minimalistic design and a solid
operating system that simply killed all the competitors. Yes KILLED !
7. The Eco System
The ecosystem concept might be of Jobs
biggest contributions to global business.the idea is simple . Create
a closed universe of hardware ,software and services thanks to a
tight integration to provide superior experience for users.
8. The Mac OSX
The Apple operating systems were always
intended to be simpler than their competition windows or linux. This
software was genrally derived from Jobs work at NeXT.
9. Apple Stores
The first apple retail store was in
Tyson’s corner, VA was reportedly met with much skepticism. Ten years
and 345 stores later it has inspired even its competitors to do the
same.
10. Apple Inc.
Since his return in 1997 Jobs has
rebuilt the company in terms of technology surpassing giants like
Microsoft. Apple has come up with a new headQuarter that is built on a
2.8 million square foot campus that will house 300,000 square feet of
research facilities a 1000 seat auditorium, a power plant and an
underground parking. Steve jobs said it was going to be the best
office building in the world.
