Ten years ago, on October 5, 2011, pancreatic cancer took place prematurely Steven Paul Jobs, said Steve.
After ten years, the background noise has subsided.
Steve Jobs is dead, everything about him has been said and written, many have even forgotten him, so you can try to go beyond the celebration.
Steve Jobs was not a artist.
It leaves no melodies or paintings, sculptures or novels behind it.
Steve Jobs was a enlightened capitalist from great marketing insights. A businessman ahead of the rest.
What he leaves us are only objects, products that for many are a reason for worship and that many others find exaggeratedly expensive.
Certainly, the glorification that has been made of him reveals a lot about our society.
Steve’s success reveals that for us, first and foremost, they matter the things.
And certainly the things that Steve Jobs bequeathed to us are remarkable. The exercise we can do is try to imagine what the world would be like today if Steve’s objects never existed. A parallel dimension like those of Dr. Strange in which it turns out that …

Instead, these are born at home Xerox with the tall model which remains however only an experiment until 1990, when the icons are finally launched from Linus Torvalds for the system Linux.
The famous launch of the Macintosh, in 1984, it never happens and the mouse, invented by Doug Engelbart in ’68 was adopted in computers only thirty years later, thanks to the discovery of the patent after its expiration by the founder of Google, Larry Page.
In 1996 computers still use i floppy instead of cd because Jobs never built the little computer Next. Diskettes retire only in 2000, when the first keys are born usb.
Until that year, computers remained objects in industrial plastic, gray and beige.
The colorful iMac in ’98 it was never invented.
Some young people Korean designers they begin to make colored PCs only in 2005.
Toy Story and Pixar were never born and therefore ’95 does not see the release of any digital animated film.
The first computer movie is Antz, the ant. It is made by Steven Spielberg only in 2003. Five years late.

To restore order, the Copyright Police. He has the right to break into every house to look for the payment receipts for the music in the players mp3.
L’iPhone in 2007 does not exist. Keyboard phones are rampant and touchscreens are just a lab curiosity. Google does not make any operating systems Android, therefore the absolute market leader is still the Finnish Nokia.
Nowadays i netbook they beat the competition. IPad in 2010 was never born and no one believes that the tablet has a future after the catastrophic experience of Microsoft the 2000.
So maybe the world would be without Steve Jobs’ life having changed it.
