Steven Paul Jobs was born on February 24, 1955 in San Francisco to his biological parents, Abdulfattah Jandali and Joanne Schieble. Steve had to be adopted when he was born because his biological mother's father did not want her to marry Abdulfattah. Joanne's father was old and dying and threatened to disown her if she married Abdulfattah. So instead of raising Steve together, they planned to have him adopted by college graduates. Unfortunately, when Steve was born, the planned adoptive parents decided not to go through with the deal because they wanted a girl instead, which left Joanne looking for someone else to fill that role. He found Paul and Clara Jobs. Both Paul and Clara were high school dropouts. When Joanne learned of this, she refused to sign the adoption papers. In order for her to agree to sign the adoption papers, Paul and Clara agreed to fund a savings account to pay for the boy's college education. Jandali and Schieble later married in December 1955 and had Stevae's biological sister, Mona Simpson, several years later. Steve Jobs was the co-founder, president, CEO of Apple Inc., co-founder and CEO of Pixar, and founder and CEO of NeXT Inc. From an early age, Steve was interested in technology. He loved working on electronics with his friend Steve Wozniak “Woz” and worked at Hewlett-Packard as a teenager. On April 1, 1976, Jobs, Wozniak and Ronald Wayne created Apple.

The Macintosh was the first personal computer to have a graphical user interface (GUI) instead of a programming language... middle of paper... The progress of . and they were substantial and necessary for the technology to reach its current level. I couldn't imagine not having the Apple products I have because of how they have affected my life. I feel like there's a lot more that Apple has in store for the future. I think there will be many products that will create or change an industry just like the first Macs, iPods, iPhones and iPads did. Steve left behind so many great ideas and things that he created. He is remembered for all the great things, like how he changed the way people listen to music, the computer they use, he created a tablet that people didn't even think they needed, he changed the phone that they use and what that phone can do. . It has changed and revolutionized many things in this world. More importantly, Steve founded the world's most valuable company and brand to date, in his parents' garage.
