Exactly one year ago, the world of technology lost one of its most iconic figures ever. Apple’s co-founder and longtime CEO, Steve Jobs died after loosing his battle against cancer. His legacy, however, will last forever, and you don’t have to be an Apple ‘fanboy’ to agree on that. More than creating technology, Jobs set the standards for people-oriented design in hardware and software. More than revolutionizing markets, he created new ones. And, like any other icon, more than feared, he was admired by everyone, either colleagues or competitors.
We collected some of the interactive resources made by the time of his death, that serve to remember how huge was his contribution to so many aspects of our lives. Hope you appreciate it, and feel free to add your recommendations in the comments section.
