THE PASSING OF A GENIUS.

One cannot help, but write about Steve Jobs, the originator of the iPad and former CEO of the company he formed that has become a household name.

Although, the Beatles had called themselves that name, Apple, and had become famous with it, and from it, and by it; it was Jobs, who established it in minds of millions of people who used computers and other electronic devices that bore it.

Many did not personally know him, and scantily saw him on television; but he was a giant of a visionary to have come up with so many ideas that were incomparable in today's world.

His persona was that of a great inventor, who managed his life in secret; his work in private; his appearance in simplicity. However, somehow, he could not hide his God given powers, and allowed his magical brain to perform wonders.

He had a dream at every instance of his life, to use his prowess beyond its limits; to be inventive and creative. He continued in that same spirit, even while he was sick; and through to the point of death.

From the Mac to the iPads, his selflessness showed, that if he had something that improved the quality of his life, everyone must have it too. That was, and is, the nature of all inventors and geniuses; yet, Jobs took his (nature) farther and farther up, starting with the iPad, and then the iPad 2; and counting.

Pretty soon there would be more of his inventions spreading into infant and kindergarten classes, for them to be able learn more of themselves and their environment; as they already were in grade schools, colleges and Universities all over the world. Of learning gadgets that sat quietly on a desk and produced so much, both in intelligence and stupidity, all at the same time; garbage in, garbage out.

That statement was purely metaphoric; but he made it to become a term of fact, even in the hands of people he did not know and would never meet; and vice versa.

Every bit of his work was a stalwart achievement; and there was the hope that the company he left behind would continue with his pieces of advice he gave to his co-workers into the long distant future. They would be very useful some day.

His passing has come too early for his age, 56; he would have done even more than he already did at the age of 72 through 78. Yet, he did enough with the short time that he was on this earth for all the people of this world. For it (World) would have been half foolish without him.

Wherever he might be, he would have peace, because he brought so much joy to millions of people who would surely miss him for being an outlandish genius as he was. His accomplishments deserved all the glowing tributes that had come from people, mostly leaders in engineering, politics, science, finance and many more.

Our condolences should go to his family; we would all remember him very much; one could not finish without saying so.
