Reflections on Steve Jobs
Gus Sentementes | Baltimore Sun
October 6, 2011
The news that Steve Jobs had died flashed on my iPhone last nite — and hit me like a punch in the gut. My wife and I were talking to my mother on my iPhone when the AP alert dinged. I looked around on my kitchen table as the news sunk in. On the table were two iPhones and a new MacBook Pro. Nearby, an iPad lay on its back.
Here I was surrounded by stuff that this man had willed into reality. And all these gadgets were now an intricate and important part of my life. Ninety percent of the photos and videos I’ve taken of my three young kids have been with iPhones — and Steve Jobs put them in my hands.
We don’t just build and use tools to make things. These tools, in turn, re-make us.
So much has already been written about the impact of Steve Jobs on the world of technology and business, and on industries such as computers, music, and software.
But this blog post isn’t about that. This is about the impact his vision has had on me and my family.

It was sad to see him go. Apple devices have become such a huge part of my life, my iPad which i spend hours on daily surfing the net and my iPod touch which also gets frequent use. The man has been a blessing to me.
