Everyone is grieving the very recent passing of Apple’s creator, Steve Jobs, and people are taking to their favorite social networks like twitter and facebook to record this sad moment in history. Even tennis has been touched by the loss due to the fact that his invention has affected the world on a global scale.
It is a rare person that has not had or heard of the Apple products like the mac computers, iPods, and
iPhones that have come to be a representation of this age of technology.
There are countless amounts of Apple product apps dedicated to Tennis so that no matter where you are in the world you can get tennis coaching, livescores, tournament coverage, and much more. The technological implications of these instant knowledge-based artifacts allow tennis to become more globalized and popular.
Tennis Hall of Fame quoted the innovator and expressed this concept by tweeting, “Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” #SteveJobs
