He stepped down from that role in August 2011, bringing an end to one of the greatest, most transformative business careers in history. Over the years, Jobs gave countless interviews to the media, explaining what he called "the vision thing"--his unmatched ability to envision, and successfully bring to the marketplace, consumer products that people find simply irresistible. <p/>Jobs made an indelible mark in multiple industries, and played an enormous role in creating others. Consider how Jobs and Apple shaped the following fields: personal computers (laptop and desktop), apps (for multiple electronic devices), computer animation (Pixar), music (iTunes), telecommunications (iPhone), personal digital devices (iPod), books (iBook), and, most recently, tablets (iPad). Jobs was the greatest business visionary of our era. <p/><i>I, Steve</i> is the perfect gift or reference item for everyone interested in this great American original.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>It's the same treatment given such luminaries as Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln and Christopher Hitchens and offers Jobs's views on life, death, technology and design, among other topics. --Timothy R.
