STEVE JOBS
Steven Paul Jobs was born in San Francisco in 1955. He was
adopted at birth by Paul and Clare Jobs. His father was American
and worked as mechanic and carpenter. His mother was an
Armenian American accountant. He became interested in computers
when he was a teenager and attended lectures after school at
Hewlett Packard. In 1974, Jobs got a job as a technician at the video
game maker Atari. He saved enough money to backpack around
India and then returned to Atari, where he met Steve Wozniak, a
friend who shared the same interests in computers and electronics.
Jobs and Wozniak were the founders of Apple Inc. In 1976 Jobs persuaded Wozniak to make
a computer and sell it. Together, they developed the Mac. It was the first small computer with
a user-friendly interface to be commercially successful. He developed a passion for style and
functional perfection, which became Apple trademarks. The introduction of the iMac and other
innovative products like the iPod, iPhone, iTunes and iPad made Apple a powerful brand.
Jobs was also a chief executive at Pixar Animation Studios and a member of the Walt Disney
Company. He created Oscar-winning movies such as ‘Toy Story’ and ‘Finding Nemo’. Jobs’
advice for success is: “You’ve got to find what you love." He died in October 2011 when he
was 56.
