In cursul serii trecute The Recording Academy a anuntat ca Steve Jobs a castigat un Grammy pentru contributia adusa la dezvoltarea si schimbarea industriei muzicale de-a lungul timpului. The Recording Academy acorda acest Grammy sub titulatura de Special Merit Award persoanelor care de-a lungul intregii cariere au influentat industria muzicala americana. Desigur ca premiul i se acorda lui Jobs pentru produse ca iPod, iTunes, iPhone, iPad si iPod Touch deoarece toate acestea au schimbat modul in care americanii cumpara si asculta muzica.
As former CEO and co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs helped create products and technology that transformed the way we consume music, TV, movies, and books. A creative visionary, Jobs’ innovations such as the iPod and its counterpart, the online iTunes store, revolutionized the industry and how music was distributed and purchased. In 2002 Apple Computer Inc. was a recipient of a Technical GRAMMY Award for contributions of outstanding technical significance to the recording field. The company continues to lead the way with new technology and in-demand products such as the iPhone and iPad.
Desi anuntul acordarii premiului a fost facut aseara, premiul in sine va fi oferit sotiei lui Jobs abia pe data de 11 februarie cand va avea loc gala decernarii premiilor Grammy. Steve Jobs a schimbat intr-adevar modul in care consumatorii cumpara si asculta muzica iar premiul este mai mult decat binevenit familiei omului care a ajutat casele de discuri sa supravietuiasca in era digitale.
