Steve Job's brilliance

He may be loved by some hated by others – but he is brilliant.

With the announcement of the new iPhone and Apple TV - I’ve been thinking a lot about Mr. Jobs lately.

What makes Steve Jobs successful is his ability to bring to the masses what they want.

He gave us the desktop computer. Before this computers were for businesses – cost way too much – and were boring. He gave us the iPod. We can now carry our entire music and video libraries around with us wherever we go.

He has now brought us Apple TV. We are now able to watch internet video on our television – in high definition.
But the big advance in this technology is what it does to the independent producers. Now as media creators we have the ability to broadcast our content to the world for the cost of server hosting.

A new era is dawning.
