Steve Jobs, Apple’s former CEO, passed away at the age of fifty six on Oct 05 2011, but left an extraordinary legacy behind the technology and business fields. He was claimed to be the “man who brought the world its most popular phone, tablet and virtual record” from his exceptional envision and creativity. Not only did his innovation enlighten the world about the potential capacity technology can bring to us, he also redefined the way human beings interact.
Upon his death, issues arise as to whether consumers will remain loyal to Apple’s products and if the company can continue to shock the world with more unprecedented technology. Tim Cook, the current CEO, faces challenges of being compared to Steve Jobs as well as the extent to how far his ability will stretch to make Apple more prosperous.
Personally, I think it is unlikely that Apple can maintain its popularity for long because what Mr. Jobs contributed for mobile consumer products has been compared to what Henry Ford did for transportation. Perhaps the world needs another decade or two to discover not only a talented and ambitious person, but someone who has the qualities and is not afraid of being different from the rest of the world.
