As many of you know by now, Apple chairman of the board and co-founder Steve Jobs passed away on Wednesday at the age of 56. Instead of bringing you our usual episode of the Gadget Lab podcast, we thought it appropriate to take a moment to reflect on what Apple under Steve meant to us, and how his vision for products shaped the very way we interact with technology today.

We’ve gathered a number of Wired staff members to discuss some of our experiences with Apple’s gadgets from the past three decades, from the first Macintosh computer to the advent of the iPad. In Steve’s passing, we’re reminded just how much the products, the company and the man have become a part of our lives.

Rest in peace, Steve.
