Steve Jobs
Steve Paul Jobs was born in San Francisco, California on February 24, 1955. When Steve was five, his family
moved to Mountain View, California where Steve went to school. One of Steve's favorite hobbies was
working with electronics in his garage with his dad. Steve was a smart student, but got bored with school.
When he was thirteen, Jobs met eighteen-year-old Steve Wozniak. Wozniak was also into electronics and
the two boys became friends. After graduating from high school, Jobs attended Reed College in Oregon.
However, he found the classes boring and soon left school and took a job with video game maker Atari.
Jobs began hanging out with Steve Wozniak and the two of them were very interested in computers.
Wozniak wanted his own personal computer and as an electronics genius, he invented his own computer.
Jobs was impressed. He said they should start their own company selling the computer and Wozniak agreed.
In 1976, they formed the company Apple Computer and called their first computer the Apple I.
Jobs resigned from Apple in 1985 and started a new company called NeXT Computer. The first products
from NeXT were technically great, but too expensive for the average person and NeXT began to lose money.
Jobs then turned NeXT into a software company and then he bought a graphics company and changed the
name of the company to Pixar. Pixar went on to make films such as Finding Nemo, Monsters, Inc., Cars,
WALL-E, and Up. Jobs actually made more money with Pixar.
In 1997, Jobs returned to Apple as the CEO. They introduced the iPod music player and iTunes music
software. Both were a huge success. In 2007, Apple introduced the iPhone which changed the way phones
were used and took the mobile phone market by storm. Jobs became famous. Steve Jobs died on October 5,
2011 from pancreatic cancer.
