Technologists contemplate a world without Jobs - latimes.com. As family and close friends planned for a private funeral for Steve Jobs, the technology world was left pondering whether one of its most innovative periods might have come to an end.
For the last 30 years, the story of personal technology has in many ways been the story of Jobs and his successes: from the first popular home computer to the machine on which the Web was invented — and now iPods, iPhones and iPads, the most talked about, written about and imitated devices anywhere. All of them were the brainchildren of Jobs, a technologist whose relentless perfectionism and long experience helped set the technology agenda for decades.
But now that consumer technology has lost the figure who had plotted its course for so long, will his absence leave the industry without a clear direction?

Apple. Wired.com. Google. Steve Jobs of Apple Dies at 56. Steve Jobs: February 24, 1955 - October 5, 2011. Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, father of the Macintosh and the brains behind the wild success of the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, has passed away, Apple has confirmed on its website. He was 56. Jobs was the adopted son of a Mountain View, CA couple and grew up in Cupertino, the city where Apple is now based. He met his longtime friend and fellow Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak when he was 16 years old thanks to an introduction from a mutual friend.
That was in 1971—years before the two roped in a couple more friends to begin working on their first computers for Apple. Jobs founded Apple in 1976 along with Wozniak, Ronald Wayne, and A.C. Since then, Apple has been doing (almost) nothing but going gangbusters on the technology world thanks to Jobs' ambitious-yet-ruthless management style.

President Obama on the Passing of Steve Jobs: "He changed the way each of us sees the world." Fans around Silicon Valley and around the globe remember Apple's Steve Jobs. From a marketplace in Tokyo to strife-ridden Syria to the sidewalk in front of Steve Jobs' house in Palo Alto, spontaneous memorials -- the likes of which haven't been seen since the deaths of John Lennon and Princess Diana -- swept around the globe Thursday as the reality of the tech titan's death seeped deeply into mourners' souls. Along with leaving piles of flowers and notes that spilled into the streets, many Apple (AAPL) fans around the world paid special tribute in a way that perhaps no one would have appreciated more than Jobs himself: holding their iPhones and iPads high over their heads, many displaying glowing images, in crystal-clear high definition, of flickering candles.
Outside Apple headquarters in Cupertino on Thursday, bagpipes played "Amazing Grace. " Along Highway 101 in Santa Clara, an illuminated road sign flashed, "Thanks Steve. " In front of Jobs' house, hundreds came and left throughout the day, with many more crowding the street corner as the evening wore on.
