The death of Steve Jobs?has prompted countless people on the Internet to share their tributes to the visionary Apple founder and one-time CEO. From personal computing to phones to tablet devices to even Pixar, Jobs' influence has touched many industries and many lives.?

The travel industry is no exception. Many travelers now regularly use travel-related applications built for Apple products, streamlining and simplifying the process of say, riding the subway, consulting a guidebook or translating foreign languages. We'd also be remiss not to mention the convenience of having a phone that doubles as a camera. Now tourists ? at least the ones slyly taking photos from their phone ? aren't as easily picked out in a crowd.?

The list could go on, but instead, we asked our Twitter followers to tell us how they feel Steve Jobs' vision changed their travel experiences. Below are a few of their tributes.?
