IN MEMORIAM: STEVE JOBS

…then pass it on.

A brilliant analogy – presenting the thesis that “the computer is the bicycle for our minds“.

A younger Steve Jobs speaks on memory and the imagination for a Library of Congress documentary

Thank you to Treehugger online and others for letting us know.

And his more recent comments at the commencement exercises of Stanford University:

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.

Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice.

And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Steve Jobs’  inventive genius, commitment and profound passion to causes larger than himself will be sorely missed.
