Steve Jobs

One of my “friends” on Facebook is Brian J. Dunn, the head of Best Buy, the world’s largest retailer of electronics.

Brian posted the following message following the death of Steve Jobs – it really sums up the life and influence of Apple’s co-founder and I am repeating it here:

“I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Steve Jobs. He has had an indelible influence on the way we use technology in our lives.

“Steve was a visionary leader who was able to see the world in ways that others were unable to see. Under Steve’s leadership, Apple has been a great partner to Best Buy and we will miss him.

“Beyond that, Steve’s mark on the connected world as we know it today – making technology smart, simple and empowering – will leave a lasting legacy that will continue to influence technology well into the future. For that, all of us, whether Apple users or not, should be forever grateful.”
