Steve Jobs will likely be the face of California Innovation at a coin of 1 US dollar next yr, and it’s difficult to assume a more sensible choice. The co-founder of Apple and Long Time Palo Alto, who died in 2011, had an amazing influence on how we today life-from personnel computers and smartphones to streaming from music and “toy story”.
But don't take my word for it. Jobs was nominated by governor Gavin Newsom, and Deedee Myers Director of the Governor's Office for Economic Affairs and Economic Development (Go-Biz)-kept the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee a presentation about why the Silicon Valley-I-icon was the proper alternative on February 18.
“Innovation is integrated into every fiber of California, but the specific innovation brand of our state is the perfect embodiment of Steve Jobs,” Myers told the committee. “Steves legacy can’t be summarized with just one product or an organization. He goes far beyond. He was an expansive man with a spacious spirit that was not only limited to science and technology. His best contributions got here from his ability to integrate art and humanity and design into this technology. “
The committee considered six potential designs for the coin, which will be part of the American Innovation Series of the US innovation, to recommend the US Finance Minister.
The younger jobs, which was brought up by the governor and jobs of work, presented themselves in a California landscape with oak trees and rolling hills together with the inscription “Something Wonderful”. Myers said that the image gave the love of jobs to California nature better, which was an important part of who he was. Other designs contained jobs from jobs with circuit designs and keyboards and one showed only its name with a tree-growing branches.
However, the committee decided to recommend a design with a more well -known picture of workplaces – older and with glasses and its branded Black turtleneck. The design – this is not final and could be changed before the coin is shaped in 2026 – is suitable and elegant.
Art Bernstein, the former executive director of the law firm Hopkins & Carley in San Jose, who is sitting in the committee, said that despite the governor's recommendation, he preferred the iconic image.
“These are the Steve jobs that we’ve seen which have introduced so many wonderful products into public,” said Bernstein, who lives in Los Altos Hills, but once lived on the other side of the street in Palo Alto.
