Steven Paul Jobs

by Elizabeth from St. Clair


Steven Paul Jobs was an amazing man. He was born on February 24, 1955. His biological parents gave him up for adoption and then he was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs. As a child, administrators wanted to bump him up a grade, but his new parents didn't agree with the idea. While attending high school, he spent most of his time at Hewlett Packard. After graduating from high school, he then went on to college. He ended up dropping out of college after just six months ("Steve Jobs Biography").

Steve met a man named Steve Wozniak through Hewlett Packard. They became the best of friends and went on to start Apple Corporation in the Jobs family garage. They developed many user-friendly personal computers. The Apple I was passed up by the Apple II, which Jobs developed. The business was finally a traded company ("Steve Jobs Biography").


Soon after, Jobs departed from Apple because he was being blamed for the flaws in the new products. Following this, the bosses were starting to exclude him from various things; Steve eventually got the hint and resigned. Jobs went on to develop a well-known company called Pixar. Pixar is well-known for its animated movies such as Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and The Incredibles. These movies are known throughout the country. Jobs had done extremely well for himself ("Steve Jobs Biography").

Jobs ended up returning to Apple as the CEO. He made many changes in the company, which is just what it needed to get ahead once again. Jobs had many ideas that all ended in great success. The major products are the iPod, iPad, MacBook, and iTunes: these products were revolutionary to the technology ("Webmasterbb"). Their competitors were always trying to duplicate the new products that Apple was putting out. No one could match the Apple products which were invented ("Steve Jobs Biography").

Steve Jobs was a revolutionary man. All of the people that I know are familiar with the major Apple products. I want to be just like him by developing revolutionary products and be known throughout the world. He has impacted the world greatly. I believe that he will end up in the history books and the following generations will learn about the great things he has done to improve technology.
