Steve Jobs, former Apple chief executive
officer who died at the age of 56, has been hailed as a cultural zeitgeist.
He's changed the way the world communicates, interacts and entertains. He's
even changed the way we think. His company's impact on how we do business has
been no less impressive. Here are 12 ways Jobs' Apple has changed the way we
work.
Simplified technology
"Apple products have completely
revolutionized the way that we do business, both for ourselves and our clients.
Their simple, clean design and stunning interfaces masked incredibly complex
technology, making world-class technology accessible to the everyday business
person. Five years ago, technology hindered us, but with Apple, technology now
lifts us." -- Ryan O’Ramsay Barrett, CEO, ORAM Corporate Advisors.
Created
a tech culture in every company
"Jobs was a true hero of technology and
innovation. It is his drive for excellence in the business and consumer
marketplace that continues to inspire me and the way in which I run Optimal
Networks. His products speak for themselves. The introduction of the iPad has
revolutionized computing as we knew it." -- Heinan Landa, CEO, Optimal
Networks
Made technology beautiful
"Jobs'
work is revolutionary because he thought beyond the devices to their day-to-day
application. He took the tech out of technology, creating user-friendly
products that were compatible and easy to use. And my favorite part of Jobs'
work — he showed that the latest, greatest piece of machinery could be
beautiful and visually stunning." -- Christina Dempsey, senior account
coordinator, Sara Brady Public Relations, Inc.
