Apple fans the world over are coming together to pay tribute to Steve Jobs this Friday, October 14, with a day dedicated in his honor. Steve Jobs Day encourages fans to admire Steve’s work and say thank you to one of the world’s greatest innovators.
The project was set up on September 23, 2011, simply to say thank you to a man whose work has had a huge impact on everyone. In light of his passing on October 5, however, the day will be dedicated to celebrating Steve’s life and the legacy he leaves behind.
So how can you take part? Well, according the organizers of Steve Jobs Day, there are three ways in which you can get involved:
