With my iPhone in my hand, I give this 5 stars.

With my iPhone at my fingertips, I can honestly say that a man that I never met and that lived 10 000km’s away from me had a significant impact on my life. Hearing Steve Jobs’ story gave me context about things in my life that I never really paid any mind to. It just goes to show what an interwoven species we are and how much we rely on one another for progress. In the final chapter Steve said something along the lines that he never cooked his own meals, or made his own clothes or cut his own hair, but he did make technological devices that the rest of humanity gets to use. Our species has this ability to stand on each others shoulders and even on the shoulders of our forefathers. We define and shape this world around us. I have no doubt that we will someday move on towards other planets in space and eventually populate the entire universe. That being said, I’ll be reading Elon Musk’s book next.
