     Just about everyone knows about the recent death of Apple's Steve Jobs and since I don't know much about him I decided to choose this article.  The article focused on how Steve Jobs changed sports and entertainment and it was an extremely interesting article that did good in glorifying Jobs and how he influenced American lives.  It made me think about how he has affected me directly; for example it made me think of the mac I have at home, the mac I am using right now at school, and the iPod in my pocket.  I also liked how the author of the article integrated key examples of Jobs' and Apples influence in sports.  For example he writes “The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, among other teams, use iPads for their playbooks”.  This convinced the reader that the author was telling the truth and had facts to prove it.  Also, the article made it seem that Jobs was the hero of Apple and the backbone that held it together.  "It started with the Super Bowl in 1984, when Jobs went against the advice of Apple’s board and ran a 60-second movie-quality commercial, playing off George Orwell’s novel, "1984," to help introduce his new Macintosh home computer. They didn’t have commercials like that before."  Jobs, according to the author "changed the technological world".  He was, and forever will be, an American icon that influenced almost every aspect of our lives even areas that would not appear to need technology.
