The whole world is mourning the passing-away of the great visionary of our times. While Apple's stockholders wondering about the company's future, people are trying to measure the impact of the loss of Jobs from different perspectives (many articles on this topic on major media).
Joy Chen, former vice mayor of Los Angles, who is now a head-hunter and has been maintaining a good blog site to teach young people about how to cultivate the best out of themselves and prepare them for global competition. Ms. Chen's new blog raised a good call with such a title, "Now Your Turn, Create Something", to guide the younger generation to see how we can learn from the achievement of Steve Jobs.
Although she mentioned that "creativity is any act of creating something new", which I strongly agree, I think we could never underestimate the harms of a rigid, exam-oriented education system could do to our children, current students and future builders of the world.
Prof. Wadhwa just did his testimony at Capital Hill on how to stop the brain drain that US is facing potentially. The war for not only "the next Steve Jobs" but the next patches of minds that can foster the emergence of great ideas like PC, iPad, etc. is now. Hopefully we can see some interesting government responses from China/India about the new labor and immigration related bills here in the US, which might show us some hints about the future map of global distribution of "intelligence treasures" like Steve-Jobs-es.
