Oct. 5th Mankind mourns a giant
TAKEAWAY: Steve Jobs, 1955-2011
MARIO GARCIA
Much will be written today and in the days ahead about Steve Jobs.
To me he was technology’s Leonardo, Shakespeare, Cervantes.
I cannot think of anyone who has had a more profound impact in the way we do everything from getting map directions, to reading books, newspapers and magazines, to listening to music and playing games.
Specifically, Jobs’ products have defined the way a generation of journalists and designers carry out their work.
He made the world happy with his vision and his products.
A good tribute to him, as we celebrate his life , would be to mention his name today every time we make use of a product that he brought into our lives
The world that he changed so dramatically, and in such a fun way, mourns his death deeply.
As with Leonardo, Shakespeare and Cervantes, we are not likely to see another Steve Jobs any time soon.
May he rest in peace.
Tomorrow in TheMarioBlog: how you covered Steve Jobs’ death. If you have done something special, do send me jpegs. Thanks.

Thank you, Mario, for this tribute to Steve.
In journalism alone, his products have propelled great storytelling for nearly three decades. And our ability to imagine has been profoundly expanded.
