Steve Jobs was the co-founder of Apple Inc. and played a key role in the personal computer revolution. He dropped out of college but had a natural curiosity for electronics from a young age. Jobs co-founded Apple with Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne in 1976. Although he was ousted from Apple in 1985, he returned as CEO in 1997 and led the company to immense success with products like the iMac, iPod, iPhone and iPad. Jobs delivered an inspirational commencement speech at Stanford in 2005 about connecting the dots in life and overcoming adversity before passing away from cancer in 2011.
