Steve Jobs, R.I.P.
I’m sad to learn that Steve Jobs has died.
For more than 30 years, he’s been America’s contemporary Edison, revolutionizing the delivery of computing, music, and movies, and putting all of them more readily into the hands of people around the globe. That you now carry the Internet on your hip is greatly due to Steve Jobs.
I saw him in person only once, many years ago, in San Francisco at the rollout of the second-generation iMac. But he’s been a daily part of my life for a long time.
