Thanks Steve Jobs.! We plan to have you back soon

How many human beings can you say that have truly changed the way you do things?

Soon, in the not so distant future, right around the time cars drive themselves saving us all agony on the roads, we'll figure out how to project Steve jobs back. It won't be the Steve jobs we just lost last week but more so his hologram. After all, projecting someone alive into a room he or she is not, is already being done. We all remember the famous cnn hologram during the 2008 elections.

Thus its a matter of time before we can take a dead person's image from existing videos and pictures. We’d then project him into a stage where he can speak both words he used at the time as well as current relevant new information. I can see him standing in front of a crowd launching a new revolutionary product the same way he did for several years. It'll be the ultimate evidence that his vision and actions will transcend way past his time. That’s the goal of the visionary life: To have what we think and do continue to be impactful long after we’re gone.

Steve called death “the best invention of life. It’s life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new”

The finality of death is also that life goes on and we will all move past the passing of Steve jobs. I'm confident that there will be others who come may equal or exceed what Steve Jobs did. Those who are able to do that have the great fortune of having a solid foundation to build upon.

How we Listen to music
How we purchase and consume music and applications (apps)
How and where we work including how we run meetings
How we look at an alphabet letter. The letter (i) has come to mean something different. (iPhone, iPad, iTunes, iTouch)
Even how we think about a fruit. I mean, what’s the first thing that comes to mind when someone says “apple”?

“Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish” – Steve Jobs

Even as a college dropout, he remained a life’s learner. Always remain in school and always continue to improve. He was able to stick to some few principles.
