Many folks throughout the world are mourning the death of Steve Jobs. Jobs, a baby boomer co-founded Apple,Inc and changed the way the world communicated. Jobs was stricken with pancreatic cancer and perhaps that is why folks all over world have laid flowers and other tokens of sympathy at Apple stores around the world.
Not only did he give us the face of great technology but the face of dignity when battling a disease that robs one of life.
“Technology alone is not enough,” said Mr Jobs at the end of his speech introducing the iPad 2, in March 2011. “It’s technology married with liberal arts, married with humanities, that yields the results that make our hearts sing.”
The legacy that he left behind will produce others great creators. India released a cheap prototype tablet for educating millions of folks. It is a possibility that one will produce a cure for cancer from the minds of many.
The government of India has unveiled a prototype of a touchscreen, tablet computer which it
expects to sell for $35 initially. As more companies migrate server applications and data storage to the cloud, a simple, Web-enabled platform such as this will replace the bloated desktop and laptop hardware architectures in use today.
