It would be nearly impossible to write any entry about Steve Jobs that hasn’t already been written during the past few weeks since his death. So, instead, the Innovation Exchange is sharing some of Apple’s classic ads from the futuristic “1984” to the kinetically compelling iPod spot.

In perhaps the most prophetic of the classics, “Think Different,” Apple pays tribute to the “…crazy ones, the misfits, rebels, trouble makers, round pegs in a square holes, the ones who see things differently. They are not fond of rules, they have no respect for the status quo….they push the human race forward.” No doubt Jobs did just that.

Enjoy this spot and other classics.
