Nationality: American
Year of Birth: 1955
Work History: Steve Jobs worked with Hewlett Packard during his school days. By 1974, he joined Atari - a company that dealt with the manufacture and distribution of portable gaming systems. Steve co-founded Apple in 1976. By 1985, he was named as the President and CEO of NeXT - another computer company based on the United States. He had acted as the CEO of Pixar - the renowned animation company from 1986 to 2006. He was appointed the Interim CEO of Apple Computers in 1997; a post which he held until 2000. By 2000, he was appointed as the CEO of Apple Computers.
Education: Steve completed high school education at Homestead High School. Although he joined the Reed College, he dropped out of college swiftly in order to concentrate on other activities - which had led him to co-found Apple and subsequently become the CEO of Apple Computers.
Bio: Deferential beginnings did not deter Steve Jobs; he started to display an interest in computers and coding from a very early age. One can understand this from the very fact that he joined summer school programs in Hewlett Packard. Steve acted as a jack-of-all-trades for a major share of his lifetime.
The turning point in his career came once after he realized the importance of the "mouse" - the common user input device that is widely used with computers. He felt that the mouse along with a graphical user interface could facilitate ease of usage of computers. The computers that are released from the stables of Apple often reflect these factors very prominently. Within years, under the watchful guidance of Steve Jobs, Apple Computers rose to be one among the leading manufacturers of computers. Competitors argued that only the rich could afford them, though.
According to Jobs, the design on a computing platform and the appeal generated by the same platform in the minds of millions played a very important role. Apple emphasized on developing computers that looked stylish, but were powerful at the same time. As of today, the same company releases various types of portable digital media players, computers and even cellular phones (the iPhone, for instance).
