Steve Jobs posthumno dobija Grammy nagradu / Steve Jobs to receive posthumous Grammy


Iako nikada nije napisao ni objavio pesmu, Steve Jobs, osnivač kompanije Apple, bio je jedna od ključnih ličnosti moderne muzičke industrije. Zbog toga će mu posthumno biti dodeljena najprestižnija muzička nagrada, Grammy, na ceremoniji 12. februara 2012. godine.
U saopštenju Akademije navodi se da će Jobs ostati upamćen kao čovek koji je učestvovao u kreiranju proizvoda i tehnologija koji su promenili način na koji slušamo muziku, gledamo TV i filmove i čitamo knjige. Nagrada takođe priznaje njegove zasluge za uvođenje iPod uređaja i iTunes online muzičke prodavnice koja predstavlja revoluciju za muzički industriju i koja je uticala na smanjenje piraterije.
Da podsetim, Jobs je umro u oktobru ove godine nakon sedmogodišnje brobe sa rakom pankreasa.
