Sunrise, Sunset

I am sure most blogs today have mentioned the passing of the Apple visionary Steve Jobs. It saddens those of us who have grown up associating the computer age with that apple logo. The insight and ideas that this man had, and I am sure he has had a wonderfully talented think tank of people at his disposal, have changed the way our generation communicates and shares our lives.

Imagine life without microchip processing? It is the very start of everything we now do. I can remember being a senior in high school sitting in front of the old ginormous computer monitor unit and taking a computer math class. It was one of the classes other than the music ones that old Bev managed to make an "A" in. Of course I know now, that is was a ridiculously simple math class that en-cooperated the use of the computer keyboard, using the keystroke time and proper hand usage for the basis of grading. I just knew I was taking a class above the curve and it was sooo 2010.

I had no idea how much it was going to change my life. I would much rather email, text or post a message on a profile page than make a call, any day. Life has broadened the introverts horizon. We can now be social without any physical or contact whatsoever. That being said, I have discussed with previous doctors that I have worked with in the teaching field and even offered to be the first clinical trial of surgically inserting my iphone to my non-dominate hand. I would approach each new class of residents offering my hand and iphone, allowing them on the cusp of new and exciting medicine. Knowing that this was the way that I would never be separated from my phone. Trust me when I say, I am SOOO addicted to it! It is the first thing I look at each morning and the last thing my eyes see before I go to bed at night. Noone every took me up on it, and if by some strange chance there is a surgical resident reading this and he wants to attempt it, I am still game! Give me that chance to give a piece of me to medicine? I will be the best patient ever, I promise!!

Seriously, consider the wonderment of it! I have ALL my email, my facebook, words with friends, twitter, text messaging, google +, my college football scores, farmville, bejewelled 2, AP mobile, Fox news, and many more annoying to my husband, but necessary to me, ap's or applications if you want to be technical. Why wouldn't it be the first and last in my day.

Thanks and gratitude for how Mr. Steve Jobs has completed, complicated and replaced joy in my life? Oh yeah, he gave me and my children a wonderful gift and I know it is insignificant in the world of Mr. Jobs, but it is important that it be known that we appreciate it all. Every little detail he handed to us. We will always be in love with Pixar Studio's and the Toy Story trilogy, as well as A Bug's Life, but I just feel the need take this moment to say "Thank you, from the bottom of my little stinking heart!" You will be missed, your vision and dreams will continue because you have been inspirational to the next generation. Asking then to dream bigger, try harder and never give up on their vision.

Go check out this video of his life with Apple/McIntosh. He will always be tops in our book! God Bless and Keep you, Steve Jobs.
