Steve Jobs' Vision

The iPad is a slim tablet with a simplistic design and the user-friendly technology Apple is so well known for. Looking back at the first Macintosh it is hard to believe how different the iPad is. When Jobs was first developing the very first Macintosh computer he was extremely meticulous about the external design, even going so far as to find his own shade of beige because the hundreds of options he had offered to him were not his exact vision. It is clear that the iPad is a continuation of Jobs’ dedication to the design of his products. The iPad is very visually appealing, very sleek and made up of one giant screen that is completely operated by touch. Part of why Jobs was so difficult to deal with (and successful) was his relentless pursuit of sticking to his goals. The iPad was basically a movement of a new technology; the tablet, and even though tons of electronics companies have produced their own tablets the iPad continues to be a leader in the field. Steve Jobs was able to create an image for Apple based on his own stubborn tendencies, and those tendencies definitely were apparent in the iPad’s design.
