Apple co-founder and former CEO, Steve Jobs passed away on Wednesday, Oct.5 at the age of 56. Definitely, the world lost one of the greatest innovators and IT elites.
Jobs co-founded Apple computer with Steve Wozniak and catalyzed the technology development hereafter. Apple created iPod, iPhone, Mac computer and Ipad, etc. that successively opened a new era of touchscreen smartphones, all-in-one desktop computers and tablet computers.
Jobs’s contribution to IT industries is imponderable. Good ideas can diffuse rapidly; businesses imitate each other for obtaining the greatest profits. The great success of Apple can be addressed to a group of IT elites leading by entrepreneurs such as Steve Jobs. Apple adopts several tactic and strategies along the road through innovation and energetic minds. In my opinion, Jobs changed the world in term of for example, accelerating the founding and development of Android and stopping Nokia focusing on Symbian. The companies discover the increased demand for high-tech devices and the huge profit Apple makes; they enter the market to imitate Apple’s ideas and continue to survive in the IT industries. Although they drive the profits of such innovations down, they push the world to enter an efficient technology age.
