When Apple co-founder Steve Jobs died on Wednesday, at age 56, the loss resonated throughout the tech world?in unprecedented ways.?He was described as our generation's Thomas Edison and his legacy has been celebrated accordingly.

Despite his longtime role as the CEO of the most valuable company in the world?playing a significant part in his legacy, Jobs isn't simply remembered for his business skill and his charismatic presentation styles. Instead most think of the many products he helped bring into consumers' homes ??from the highly successful?Macintosh, iMac, iPod, iPhone and iPad lines to the slightly lesser known Newton tablet platform.

Through his involvement with Apple, animation film studio Pixar, computer maker NeXT, and their respective products and projects, Jobs left an imprint on the tech world and beyond.

The iPhone shook up the smartphone industry, the iPad reignited the desire for tablet computers, the iPod offered a way for us to carry thousands of songs in our pockets, iTunes gave fans of digital music downloads an alternative to piracy, Pixar produced beloved animated classics, and the list goes on.
