Steve Jobs

I truly believe that the story of Steve Jobs is a story of inspiration, success and motivation. His innovation has changed the world in away that we will be able to see for years to come. His success story focuses on
the challenges in which he had to overcome to become who he became. He was aware of a need that people were searching and he successfully satisfied that need by addressing it in any way
possible. Steve Jobs can be thanked for the iPod the iPhone, the MacBook’s, and
the iPad. These products are today’s latest essentials and they will be very
important in the business world.
Jobs changed retail by adding products that have lead in
their industries. Its competitors try to match the level of innovation but Steve
jobs made Apple the leading manufacturer for MP3 players, Laptops Pads and
Phones.  Music and entertainment has been affected by Steve Jobs
because people now can listen to music anywhere they want and can sink it to
any of their devices through iTunes. ITunes makes it easy for anyone to
download music, movies and even listen to radio broadcasts.
Business has been affected in such a big way. You see people using iPads in meetings instead of a laptop
or writing down notes. Business is affected by this even if they are not Apple
users because competitors update and try to innovate to compete with Apple and these
changes the way business runs all over the world.  Education has been effected positively by the innovations of Steve Jobs because as a student I can see how convenient it is to have a Mac,
in the last 3 years I have never had a virus on my MacBook, I have never had an issue with my iPod and now I just upgraded to an iPhone, it influences my education because it keeps me organized and updated with the latest technology trends which is good for me because I will be able to understand technology in
the future if I am always up to date and using the latest technology for my education.
Steve Jobs allowed us through his ideas to be able to multitask and do more with our lives, his struggles show us that anyone can have a dream and use the “thinking out of the box” technique to change the world.

Response to Cory

     Cory, I could not agree with you more! It is remarkable to see how inspirational Jobs is. Jobs is an innovator, a creator, and a thinker with no constraints. By just listening to his empowering speeches, I would never guess that he would be the student to drop out of college, or be the employee to be fired from his own company. Nothing has stopped Jobs from accomplishing his goals, despite the many hardships and hard times which he has endured. But despite these ‘bumps in the road’, Steve Jobs always remained positive and productive. His work with Apple has set the standard of excellence in information systems. I think it is safe to say that all Apple products are the epitome and ideal of what technology should be. Jobs will be dearly missed-not by just the people in this world that know him personally, but by all those whose lives are affected in one way or another by Apple. Also, I was not aware that Jobs created Toy Story, which is definitely a movie which is a defining characteristic of our generation growing up. Great Job!

Steve Jobs-May You Rest In Peace

               It is hard to even think about where to begin in regards to the life and career of Steve Jobs. Jobs was an innovator to transforming information systems into user friendly tools to help a person’s lifestyle. He defied the assumption that all corporate CEOS of large companies are “big”, “bad”, and ruining the structure of the United States. If anything, Jobs provided a standard that all CEOs and all executives should follow. Though his death did not come as a total shock to many, his death has affected many Apple enthusiasts personally. It is the end of an era, but Jobs’ legacy will live on forever.

                Jobs impacted information systems for the better. Previous to the start of Apple, there was no true competitor to the work of Bill Gates. Jobs created seamless information systems that have become the “designer” gadgets in retail. Specifically, within retail, Jobs set the bar standard of quality. Though the typical user will pay a heftier price than purchasing a non-Apple product, the price tag insures a level of high quality and high expectations. Complaints for Apple products rare, and if there is an issue-the tech workers fix those Macbooks, iPhones, and iPads in only a moment’s time.

                I personally feel that Jobs greatest advancement with the company was the introduction of the iPod. To this day, there is not an MP3 player that even comes close to the superiority and excellence of this product. iPods fit nearly every individual’s needs and personality. Additionally, Jobs created and founded a music information system that works hand in hand with the iPod. iTunes is a conventional, yet functional computer program. Its simplicity makes the program easy to use, but the additional features and applications can make iTunes very advanced for the tech-savvy user.

                I do not believe that the work of Steve Jobs can be summed up in just one blog post. I am more than impressed by his work and inspiration he has left on this world. I think it is safe to say that Jobs is a hero to information systems. I hope that the work of Apple will only to continue to grow, and that Jobs inspiration and powerful words live on forever.

Steve Job's

Steve Job’s life is a unbelievable story which people should be inspired from. Steve Job’s was one of the smartest and most powerful person to ever live. He accomplished and overcame a great deal in his life that no one would have ever expected especially with his background. He was a cancer survivor; a college drop out, as well as him being fired from his own company. Steve Job’s life is beyond what anyone could ever dream; he started his own company from scratch in his garage with one other person. It is now one of the largest and most known companies out there. I find it crazy to believe that one man created an entire system of computers as well as software for these computers that people use today. He changed the whole experience of the internet as well as created his own animated movie company which is one of the greatest movies of all time, Toy Story. Steve Job’s was fired from his own company and still he came back to create a motion pictures called Pixar which he then sold to Apple and regained his job back within the company. Nothing could stop this man, from being a college drop out, to being fired from his own creation, to being a cancer survivor, not expected to live more than 6 months, he still pushed through everything and created the greatest technology out there right now. Steve Job’s is a legend and will never be forgotten, he proves that everyone who has a struggle can still overcome it and become a great success.

Steve Jobs

I feel like Steve Jobs is an icon for entrepreneur’s worldwide. Because he started apple in his garage and than turned it in to a multi billion dollar company. He went to college but than dropped out to process his goal in apple. In one of the clips the host was putting Jobs in the same categories, as huge named people in are history. And than said he was a step a head of all them. I feel like he was correct if it was never for Jobs than the computer might not be as easy to use as it is now. He took something that was hard to use and understand and made it so everyone could benefit from use it. Jobs quoted “ windows took Mac’s programs and made it there own” witch I thought was ironic because I had a dell for a while with windows on it but than moved up and bought a Mac book, which also has Microsoft programs on it. I feel like it senses I had a dell for so long I got accustom to how that windows worked. But now that I have a Mac is a lot easier to use. Because on your keyboard it’s all about “command” something, witch on a dell everything was laid out for you. I love my Mac book better than any other laptop I have had.

Jobs took over the retail world for computers, music devices, and cell phones. He made it so simple to put mp3 music from a cd to your computer to your ipod or iphone. All of the products that he produced are in demand in all parts of the world. Even though apple products are on the higher end of the price chart, you are paying for not just the name but also the service. Any problems you have with any of their products you can go to any apple store and they will help u fix it for free, if you still have a warranty. Places like best buy or other company’s make you jump though hoops to get it fixed. Most of the time you need to ship it to the manufacture to fix and wait up to a month to get it back. Throughout Jobs life he had ups and downs but everyone will always remember him as one of the best. Frontrunners in are lifetime. And the best entrepreneur in the decade.

Steven Paul Jobs

Steven Paul Jobs was born on February 24, 1955 to two university graduates who gave him up for adoption when we was born. Jobs a smart but directionless, Steven experimented with diferent pursuits before starting Apple Computers with Stephen Wozniak in Steven's families garage. Their revolutionary products, which included the ipod, iphone and the ipad are now to be concidered as a dictating the evolution of modern technology in our precent time. Steven Jobs had success in 1970 that put Apple back on track. His product the imac, had a effective branding campaign that caught the attention of the consumers in the market at the time boosting Apple to the top. Apple went through the roof after this campaign. Apple introducted revolutionary products such as the macbook air, ipod, and the iphone which dictated the evolution of modern technology. In 2008, Apple's program itunes became the second biggest music retailer in America, which marks a success point in their company. This new technology in Apple's products have changed how we do business, retail, music, and the education process for the better. Steven's products alow us as consumers to do daily activies faster and more effective and efficent than ever before. Information can now be passed on easier from comapny to company, person to person, and from your hand whereever you are in the world. Steven Jobs lived a good life with some rough parts in it but has made all of our life better too through what he did at Apple. We can learn from him to never stop trying new things and always try to follow your dreams. Steve Jobs changed the world of technology to a high level system and would like to thank him for what he did. He will aways be remembered fro what he did at his company Apple.

Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs left behind an amazing legacy. He may in fact be the greatest entrepreneur of all time according to the video, which I very much agree with. Steve was the co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Apple Inc. Steve also founded Pixar Animation Studios and Next, which was a computer platform system. As you can tell Steve Jobs was an extremely smart and gifted individual. By watching these videos I learned a whole lot about him that I never knew. For one, I did not have a clue that he got fired from Apple and went on to create two other extraordinary businesses. This just shows the determination Steve had which eventually landed him back at his original position of CEO at Apple Inc. Also, I never knew that he did not graduate from college. When I heard this, it just blew my mind. I had no clue that someone of that intelligence could just not attend college. But then I realized that we were in different times and that was probably normal for some people back then.

Steve Jobs basically created the whole entertainment side of technology. If you look at some early Apple commercial’s you could see what I’m talking about. He took everything a regular pc had, put it on steroids and added things such as music and Photoshop. He created ITunes which made listening and storing music easy. ITunes also made transferring music from your computer to your IPod easy. Itunes was a huge break for Apple because everyone who had a regular pc had to find some program to transfer music to their device and it was very frustrating, ITunes took away these headaches. Due to this, you now see ITunes on almost every computer. This is not the only program Steve Jobs took to the next level; he put Photoshop on the map. Mac’s were a photographer’s dream, it made editing, printing and saving extremely easier. Another thing Steve Jobs was genius at was the way he marketed his products. He knew what to say and when to say it. For example, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80sWifG40B0 , in this video he is saying a pc processing system is good but why would you buy that when you can a Mac and get a better processor with more options. Whenever something is out of date they automatically upgrade and make something new, which is why they come out with a new line of products ever October. Apple is hands down the best marketing and retail business in the United States today thanks to Steve Jobs.

The Impact that Steve Jobs has had on our generation is unbelievable. Without him our information and technology systems would be no where as close as they are today. Nothing against Bill Gates but Macintosh blows Windows out of the water. Just think about what we would do today with out Ipods, ITunes, or Photoshop. People would go crazy. Steve Jobs single handedly change information systems for the better. The one lesson I will learn from Steve Jobs is to never give up on something you are determined to do. He showed me that you could change your and everyone else’s life for the better if you put your mind to it.
