Steve Jobs is a man that everybody
knew of and is still famously remembered to this day. You might even be holding
one of his creations in your hands right now. He was the man that started the
technology of the company named Apple. He was always a fan of technology and
electronics. He hit a few bumps in his path sometimes throughout his journey but
he ended up being very successful.
As an infant he was adopted by a
couple named Clara and Paul Jobs. When he got older he even spent time with his
father in the garage working on electronics because it was very fascinating to him.
But, Steve stumbled a little bit through schooling when he was younger. Even
though he was in that situation he tested very well and the teachers actually
offered to skip him to high school. That seemed like a great offer, but Steve’s
parents said no.
Fast forwarding to when he was
around his 30’s he became partners with a man named Steve Wozniak. They were
the two people that got the company Apple started. Although, back then
computers and what not were not as extraordinary as they are now. The first
computers were very bulky and twice the size of the laptop computers we have
today. The first computer that Steve and his partner created was called the
Apple 1. This was not as successful as the next creations they made in the
future. It didn’t really sell that well as they planned. As soon as they made
another Apple product it slowly started to grow.
One of the bumps in Job’s path was
that he actually got removed from his OWN Company that HE made. Later on though, he ended up buying an
animation company that is widely known today. That animation company is Pixar
Animation Studios. Even though he was away from his Apple Co. for a while he
later came back into the position of CEO.
Unfortunately, when he was 56 years
old he died from pancreatic cancer on October 5th 2011. He is
remembered as one of the most successful men to this day. I have always loved
Apple products and I thought it would be interesting to learn a little bit of
who started it and what not. So if you own an Apple product then thank this man
for starting this amazing company that he created just beginning it from his garage.
