A hero is somebody who makes a difference for someone or a group of people. Well, that's exactly what Steve Jobs did. He was born February 24, 1955. From there Apple started to develop.
Steve later on started to invent things in his garage and years later in his life he went to Reed College which the tuition was way too high for what Steve's family could afford, And Steve's family tried to convince him that they couldn't pay for him to go, but Steve points were better so he eventually went to Reed College in Portland, Oregon.
Whenever Steve's friend Wozniak came to visit Steve felt like a loser. But he actually wasn't.
Steve became a vegetarian and walked around campus barefoot and when it snowed he wore sandals, later on Steve decided to drop out of Reed at the end of the first semester, because his parents weren't happy with him. His grades weren't good and Steve's parents won't pay the tuition for him to live a hippy's life.
After Jobs left Reed he rented a dorm room with no heat for $25 a month, and got some school fund to become a physiologist for animal experiments, and whenever Wozniak (Woz) visited they were sold blue boxes.
When Steve left back home, his parents saw a "help wanted" ad by Atari. Atari's first game was ping -pong, it represented two paddles with a ball bouncing back and forth.
Many years after Steve quit he invented a lot of things like:
- 1968, Jobs sees the first personal computer (actually a large calculator)
