Goodbye Steve Jobs.
While reading some of the co-founder of Apple's quotes this morning I saw he used the word "grok". I hadn't heard that word in decades. Back in the '60s it was a phenomenon and means to completely and totally understand something or someone. Robert Heinlein coined the word in his book Stranger in a Strange Land written in the 60s.
Grok is a word used by computer geeks now to mean they completely understand how their program works. That is how the Iphone was developed. Simplicity and understanding.
Rest in peace, Mr. Jobs.
It was way too soon to lose such a mind.
