Memorial

With Steve Jobs' death affecting the entire world, a burst of memorial videos, speeches and interviews have appeared on TV's and internet sites across the globe.  He truly was a genius, who helped develop some of the most remarkable technology of our time.  People from all age groups, and different backgrounds became incredibly emotional at the news; some may ask why? 

I think these people looked up to Jobs; they aim to become great like him.  Also, he was a key figure that will always be recognised in history; he became a part of people's childhood, and lives - even if he wasn't personally there.  Because of him, the world can enjoy different things that might not have been achieved otherwise, like the iPod - How many people have good memories with this device that they will remember for the rest of their lives?  I assume thousands, possibly millions will.  He was a role model and an inspiration to many people, who I suppose, thought of him, like many other role models, as invincible, being to do anything they dreamed of, and this can be very crushing for people.  Hopefully his successors will aim to keep the image of Steve Jobs present in the minds of the public, so he can live on in memory instead.
