steve jobs on my facebook newsfeed

Of today, my son said, “It’s like the whole world stopped this evening. There’s nothing else on the Internet or anywhere else but talk of Steve Jobs.” True. I had things to do–important stuff. But I stopped too. And I googled–with an unexplainable heaviness of loss–bits and pieces, trivia and quotes, of man who changed us and our lives.

Most of what I found online anyone can just as easily find for themselves. So here’s a collection from my Facebook newsfeed–words from the ordinary, every day lives that feel the loss of Steve Jobs.

I am truly sorry to hear about the death of Steve Jobs. I truly feel that if it was not for him I would not have become a “techy grandma” His innovations have allowed us to enjoy the ipad, ipod, imac and a host of other things. I felt so sad when I opened my computer and saw his picture saying 1955 to 2011.–Lena
