There were three apples that changed the world as we know it – first, the forbidden apple that ignited the “basic instincts” between Adam & Eve and made contraceptives today a worldwide necessity; second, the apple of discovery that Newton saw falling from a tree and gave the world the “science of gravity” and apparently, the “gravity of science”; and the third, much later, appeared as a quarter-eaten apple of Steve Jobs that digitized, gadgetized and hypnotized the modern consumer society. Perhaps, it was none other than Steve Jobs, who first truly bring innovative concepts and shaped them into the real life. He merged futuristic technologies with simplistically aesthetic designs and packed them all into single tangible entities that soon became benchmarks for fulfilling contemporary human desires. Surely, an apple would have been just another nutritious fruit, but with the magical touch of Steve, it looks seductive too…
Technology, by its core definition is not just about rocket science or building war ships. In fact, it should be more about transforming those rocket sciences into simple accessible formats that brings change and happiness to the mass human lives. This was the message that Steve Jobs lived to create successfully in his short yet significant life. As long as Apple as his living example will continue to wonder, people won’t mind to stay hungry and foolish.
