Ok...let's talk. I have to admit that I'm affected by the passing of the legendary Steve Jobs. It's not because I'm a techie who believes that Apple create excellent products that are far superior to anything else out there simply because it does what it's supposed to do, but because Steve Jobs was a man who believed that we can be better than we are. He believed that mankind was great and that we can do great things. He believed that the world can change.

And he changed it.

10 years ago, Bono called the iPod the most important invention since the electric guitar. For those of you who do not understand the significance of the electric guitar, you won't understand why Steve Jobs changed everything. From the printing press to digital music, truly game changing innovations are all about freeing the human spirit. It's about giving to the people, things that were thought to be held by a select few institutions or corporations while the rest of us worked to buy the crumbs. Guittenburg believed we should all read and spawned democracy. Steve Jobs believed we should all be able to enjoy music and the soul of the world somehow got bigger. Technology became the property of the people and the world changed.

There is no way I can list the ramifications of his contribution. We are better because he believed we could be.

It's time for us to pick up the apple that is lying on the ground.

What do you believe?

Come with me.
