This man has helped change your life, in either a small, minute way, or changed your life forever. Either way, I highly doubt many of you know who he is. So let me introduce him - this man is JONY IVE, Chief Designer and Vice-President of Apple.
Yes, this man designed the iPhone, the iPad, the iPod, and the majority of Macs for the last 15 years. Told you he'd helped change your life.
Oh, and did I mention he's British?
He moved to America in 1992, and joined Apple almost immediately. He gained his current job titles when Steve Jobs re-joined the company in 1997, and he hasn't looked back since.
I'm sorry, but the things we use every day, this bloke had in his head and jotted down, and look at it now. The click wheel. The Magic Mouse. The iPhone Headphones with Remote. Its the little things, and they all make a massive difference.
We owe him a hell of a lot, and then some. He's shaped the way we make calls, we listen to music, and we send emails. Write documents. Show photos to friends. He's revolutionised, along with the company, the way we use technology.
So, JONY IVE, you are the Day Dedicatee for Wednesday 1st September 2010.
