Steve Jobs: One Last Thing Page #7

---

that the logo actually

made them cry,

and I thought it was

a really strong

reaction to have,

but it made sense

because Steve Jobs

had such a great impact

on our world.

He wasn't just this person who

made all these great gadgets.

He actually changed

the that way we communicate.

When you grow up,

you tend to get told

that the world is the way it is

and your life

is just to live

your life inside the world,

try not to bash into

the walls too much,

try to have a nice

family life, have fun,

save a little money.

How amazing is it that we live

in an era where his legacy

will transform people's lives

and experiences of technology

for the foreseeable future?

This single individual

gave us the original Apple,

the macintosh, and Pixar

and the iPod

and the iPhone, iPad.

That is astonishing.

Steve Jobs created the most

respected brand in the world

and shook up

a whole industry,

and he did it with a lot

of panache and style,

and, you know, great respect

for him for it.

Life can be much broader

once you discover

one simple fact,

and that is everything

around you that you call life

was made up by people that

were no smarter than you.

The facts are

the story of his life,

the story of his successes,

the story of his achievements,

the stories

of the great things he did

for other people

continue to go on because

that's good

for our country,

it's good for the nation,

it's good for the world,

and it's also good

for the people.

Of course, that's

what it's all about.

I think the world

will miss Steve Jobs.

He took stuff

to a new place,

and I do identify with that.

It's exciting when you do that,

so I do find

the excitement of that,

and he also made things

that were beautiful,

great to touch, great to hold,

good to look at,

and different colors.

The minute you understand

that you can poke life

and actually something will...

You know, if you push in,

something will pop out

the other side,

you can you can change it,

you can mold it,

um, that's the most

important thing.

There's one thing

on which everyone agrees...

Steve Jobs left a legacy

that has changed the world.

He had the ability

to think up new ways

of doing things,

not just improve what we have,

do a better version

of something,

but do it in a totally

different way

that the world would

swing towards.

And so we fall in love

with Steve because he gave us

these toys that were not only

fun but really useful. Wow!

It's upended industry

after industry,

it's forced everyone

else to follow in his path,

and it has touched

billions of people.

He will be regarded

as the person who unlocked

the creativity

of a whole generation.

He's changed the way we look

at computers, phones,

how we share, interact.

He's going to inspire

a whole new generation.

A 5-year-old 20 years from now

is going to create and design

and invent and define a world

totally different

than the way we see it now,

and it's going to be

because of Steve Jobs.

Even then he had

this ability to bridge

a very intellectual world

of high technology

with something

that everyone could relate to.

Here's a guy who revolutionized

the computer industry,

the music industry,

the motion picture industry,

the telephone industry...

There's 4...

And maybe more,

I don't know,

but certainly those 4,

and if you compare him

with Edison,

well, there was

the electric power industry,

the motion picture industry,

and the music industry.

Edison only had 3.

That's impact.
