Steve Jobs and his Impact on International Communication

Steve Jobs has significantly transformed the way in which human beings communicate. His impact will forever be remembered and his legacy will continue to live on for generations to come. In a recent class discussion, I asked the professor his thoughts on how the life of Steve Jobs impacted the field of International Communication. After much reflection, I concluded that Steve Jobs revolutionized the process of obtaining employment and raised the bar for most people in the workforce. Although he didn't know that what started in a basement would shape history and pave the way for the future, Steve Jobs has undoubtedly shown the world that a single dream can impact the world in a great way.
As technology advances and as new communication devices emerge, candidates seeking employment must display proficiency in whatever tools that the employer desires. Steve Jobs has raised the bar for job-seeking applicants. Long gone are the days where individuals could gain employment by just knowing how to read, write and analyze information.Now, thanks to Steve Jobs, applicants must know how to use and navigate Apple products. This invention has not crippled America, but has caused workers in America to obtain new skills and tangibles. In a very competitive society, it has become increasing important to be up -to -date and in the loop with all new technology.
One cannot really imagine a world without Steve Jobs. Therefore it's even harder to imagine a future without him. The end of his life has signified a new chapter in the global landscape. One has to wonder if new computer technology will now become stagnant, or if this event will give rise to some new technological genius. These concerns are too early to be addressed, but still contain much validity. Now is the time to honor a man that has impacted the field of International Communication and has raised the bar and qualifications for the global workforce.
