Who will dazzle us now?

I took it for granted that the wonderful things would keep coming from Apple, but now what?

 See, genius and vision aren't that common.  Rare are the true innovators, the risk-takers, the shapers of this world. Rare are those with truly original thoughts.  This is why I experience the loss of Steve Jobs like a personal one.  Who will dazzle us now? Who will revolutionize things now?  Who will make things simpler and more beautiful?  

Sometimes it feels to me that our world is going backward in too many ways.  I fear that the forces of entropy might win. Entering an apple store I always felt that a better future was possible.  There was a sense that technology was a good thing, a responsible thing, esthetically and ethically. Now it feels that the mold is broken.  They cannot make another Steve Jobs and everything will go to shit now.

Here, a teaspoon full of sugar: pictures of a delightful store I just found in Fjeldborg.

It's a sad day, for sure. Our lives have been forever changed because of him.

Oh ye of little faith;) Someone always comes along...it might be quite awhile, though. xo

lovely shop!
I think I am an ignorant... I read about Steve Jobs at the newspaper the other day, I am not at all on technology. I have a computer and internet, but I don´t know what are all these things that he invented... :(

I wish I was in a place to visit that shop... and just looking at it makes me thing I couldn't afford much. It's struck me that the cuter a store is, the less likely it will be in my price range!
