Long time CEO of Apple Steve Jobs, has resigned, saying it
is effective immediately.
Jobs has asked to continue working at the company in a
smaller role; chairman of the board and director of the company (well, not that
small).
We, the society who voraciously eat up all his devices as if
they were actually apples, should be grateful for his innovation, for after
all... many of you would not be having tablets or iPod’s then, would we?
Sure, there would have been others out there, but to be
honest an Apple device is more iconic than an Android, it goes to the same
heights as Converse, and the Nike tick.
It was, and still is cool to have an apple device, the
majority have one, they are at the cutting edge of music and musical devices
such as the iPod.
A recent concept of iCloud which is a new form of internet
storage, sure that part isn’t exciting but what is the music division. For $25
a year, the customer can access any of the iTunes songs that match their
collection and any music that they own but was alternatively acquired will be
uploaded to the iCloud account.
Some say this encourages pirating music, but here at the
Daily Red I beg to differ, instead of encouraging it tries to fight this so
called war in a new way through iCloud, nothing wrong with innovation, right?
And if discussing Apple it would negligent on my part not to
mention/commend iTunes. Like the rest of Apple’s products it has changed the
face of music singlehandedly but also how music is bought. Its the record store
for the 21st century.
In sum, I leave this article in an odd feeling, a feeling, perhaps is a little sad, that one of our most iconic CEO’s has stepped down. But more than that, it will
be odd to have an Apple speech without the Jeans and Turtleneck combo speaking
with such passion for the devices that we rely on so earnestly.
