Heres an opinion piece on Mumbrella about our reaction to Steve Job's death. The Naked office is a reasonably fun and happy place. On the whole it’s free of workplace bullying, and most people clock in and out at a reasonable hour. However, recently something happened that caused great upset to our staff – it was beyond our control and very worrying. There were group emails sent around with messages of condolence, and perhaps even a tear or two. However, it wasn’t just our office – the same scenes of morning could be seen right across the world. What happened?
Well…. Last week a very good manufacturer of consumer electronics died, Steve Jobs.
After his death The Economist describes Steve Jobs as a man who “Stood out in three ways – as a technologist, as a corporate leader and as somebody who was able to make people love what had previously been impersonal, functional gadgets.”
Could not have said it better myself.
We are living in a world where there is an unparalleled outpouring of grief for someone who has made us fall in love with our PDA’s, computers, and MP3’s.
What the fuck?
