no Apple products in our lives. Apple products have probably impacted us through other manufacturers playing 'catch up'. a loss to the tech world.

I don't have an Apple computer but I am sure his vast knowledge of technology has impacted all of us in some way. As far as cell phones go, I do not have (can't afford) internet on my phone so I can't comment on the great things he did with the iphone, etc.

I am not really up on computers. Of course I have heard of Apple computers but have honestly never heard of this man until his death, unfortunately. God bless him for the advances in technology that were developed and passed on to us. Rest in peace, sir, and may God comfort your family.

I have bought mac computers my whole life. I currently have a 20 inch iMac, iPad 2, iPod Nano, iPod Touch, iPod Shuffle, iPod Video, and MacBook Air. I absolutely love apple products and have always put my trust into them. I will deeply miss steve jobs and the great innovations he has brought into my life!

sure, they forced other companies to catch up, and those companies now surpass them in some ways

tech is a leap frog world, you lead, then your passed, then you lead again, ect.

while i dont use apple products many things i use were developed to compete with them

my $20 mp3 player works just as well as the $100+ ipod

i think the easier question would be how HASN'T Steve Jobs impacted our daily lives.

I'm not sure of the exact #,but I think he had over 300 patents credited to him.Most or all were tech related.Kind of a modern day Edison.Cathy said it best.

most of his patents where design ideas, not technical in nature.

how things should look or feel

Steve Jobs thought outside of the box which is rare. He was an Einstein. This quote from him says it all.

"Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." -- Steve Jobs
