I still remember exactly where I was when Steve Jobs died. I think it was because at that moment, I had a realization about him: that there was no other person in recent memory who made such an impact on the everyday lives of people. He wasn’t some grand political figure that uplifted millions with inspiring rhetoric or an athlete that had achieved some amazing physical goal.

But every single day, pretty much everywhere in the world, a sizable portion of humanity uses a device that he ultimately brought into being. And I thought that was pretty cool.
