The Man Who Revolutionized Technology

The Birth of Steve Jobs• Steven Paul Jobs was born February 24th, 1955 to

birth mother Joanne Carole Schieble and birth father Abdulfattah "John" Jandali.

• Steve was given up for adoption, and met his adoptive parents, Paul Reinhold Jobs and Clara Jobs, who gave him his world renown name.

Steven’s Early Life• Jobs, being a model citizen, was not a model

student. He frequently pranked fellow classmates.• Steve was, however, very smart. School officials

recommended for Jobs to skip 2 grades! His parents decided to reduce that to only one.

• When Steve was young, his father showed him how to assemble and disassemble electronics like radios and television, sparking Jobs' interest in technology.

Jobs’ First Jobs• Steve worked at Atari, thanks to one of Steve

Wozniak’s recreations of pong that Atari mistakenly though Job’s created.

• Later on, Steve was assigned to create a circuit board for the game Breakout, but delegated to Wozniak who did an amazing job. They split the money.

An Idea• In 1976, after selling illegal “blue boxes” for

telephone calls, Steve and Woz created their own business, Apple Computer Company, and started selling circuit boards.

• In that same year, Wozniak created the Apple 1 computer, and the two attempted to sell it.

• Slowly, Apple as a company grew.

• Apples original logo

Apple.

Apple was a very important company indeed. It created important new tech like the original iPod iPad and the revolutionary iPhone. And behind it all, we have Steven Jobs. With help from his buddy, Steve Wozniak, he created a company that changed the direction of new age technology. Steve is a model citizen because he stood up for his ideas, and used them to help the greater good, even if it meant he had to do something unsavory. He introduced new ways of thinking and ideas for as long as he lived. Think about what kind of phone you have at home. Maybe your parents have one. Its an iPhone. Without Steve Jobs creating Apple, nobody across the world would own one. Maybe touchscreen and smartphone devices wouldn’t have evolved so quickly. For all these things, we have Steve Jobs to thank. And that’s not all…
