“I think what separates us from the high primates is that… ahhh? We’re tool builders.” – Steve Jobs
In memory of Steve Jobs 1955-2011
If Steve Jobs thinks “a computer is like a bicycle for the mind” I say we create massive rides through out cities and villages in honor of his innovative spirit and believes about computers. Better yet, I believe he would be proud of every human being who would be so creatively committed to build their own bike with their own two hands.
“I read a study that measured the efficiency of locomotion for various species on the planet. The condor used the least energy to move a kilometre. Humans came in with a rather unimpressive showing about a third of the way down the list. …
Steve Jobs - 1986
That didn’t look so good, but then someone at Scientific American had the insight to test the efficiency of locomotion for a man on a bicycle and a man on a bicycle blew the condor away. That’s what a computer is to me: The computer is the most remarkable tool that we’ve ever come up with. It’s the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.”
– Steve Jobs
I had no idea that Jobs believed this way and publicly admitted this to the world. Every time I listen to beats on my iPhone while riding my bike with my hair blowing back in the wind I can smile with childlike abandon knowing that Steve Jobs is looking down at me and joyfully laughing in total peace. I will continue to do so with admiration and pleasure…
RIP Mr. Steve Jobs
Below is a link with an article from “The Hans India” that has quotes from Steve Job’s brilliant mind throughout the years. I still cannot believe he is gone. It will be interesting to see what unfolds for Apple and the rest of the World in the next few years? May the brilliant work of this legend live on…
Walk, bike, change – almost like the Apple (Steve Jobs) own mantra. Perhaps like that great forward thinker, you too can make a difference!
