Steve Jobs is Dead: How Has He Touched You?

At age 56, the founder of Apple has died of Pancreatic Cancer. How has he affected the lives of Davis residents?

Although I can't claim to be a devout Apple fanatic, I understand the level of love directed at the company and it's founder, Steve Jobs. 

After all, I’m typing on a MacBook Pro and I learned of Jobs's death while sliding my finger across the glass screen of my iPhone. His imprint is everywhere, in my life and scattered across this town.

In his short adult life he built, left, and then came back to revive, Apple. He also managed to launch the immensely successful and creative Pixar.
