We all know who Steve Jobs is. The co-founder of Apple Inc. The iconic CEO who not only revolutionized modern technology but also helped hand-assemble the original Apple-1 computer back in 1976, as well as co-create the world famous Breakout game for the Atari platform. He’s also the man who was forced out of Apple in 1985. He then formed NeXT followed by the behemoth of animation that is now Pixar before returning to lead Apple Inc. again into a new age. He is undoubtedly a big miss to the world of technology but you don’t realize just how much he is missed at Apple’s keynote presentations until you watch this clever video that has been put together of him introducing Apple’s “most personal product yet,” the Apple Watch.

The world famous wax museum asked the American public to vote on which technology icon they would like to see immortalized in wax and displayed in its San Francisco museum.
