2. The Jobs family
Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, in the city of San Francisco.
His biological mother was either an unwed graduate student named Joanne
Simpson, and his biological father was a political science or mathematics
professor, a native Syrian named Abdulfattah John Jandali.
Being born out of wedlock in the puritan America of the 1950s, the baby was put
up for
adoption.
Joanne had a college education, and she insisted that the future parents of her boy
be just as well educated.
Unfortunately, the candidates, Paul and Clara Jobs, did not meet her
expectations: they were a lower-middle class couple that had settled in the Bay
Area after the war.
3. Paul was a machinist from the Midwest who had not even graduated from
high school.
In the end, Joanne agreed to have her baby adopted by them, under the
firm condition that
they later send him to college.
Paul and Clara called their son Steven Paul.
While Steve was still a toddler, the couple moved to the Santa Clara
county, later to be known as Silicon Valley
Steve was quite a turbulent child.
He really didn’t care about school for some time — until he reached the 4th
grade, and had Imogene Teddy Hill as a teacher.Dz dz
She was one of the saints of my life. She taught an advanced fourth grade class,
and it took her about a month to get hip to my situation. She bribed me into
learning.
He quickly became hooked — so much so that he skipped the 5th grade and went
straight to middle school, namely Crittenden Middle School.
4. Steve jobs’ very own family
Before Steve got married, he was committed to his work.
He was at work the whole day and only came home to have a quick dinner and a
short night
at his home, (which was a mansion located on the Woodside.)
But his habit stopped as soon as he married Lauren Powell, in 1990 because he
spent much more time with his new born son named Reed, and his 2 daughters
Erin and Eve who were born after Reed.
His other teenage daughter Lisa, (a daughter he had with his old girlfriend Chris-
Ann Brennan), was taken into the family.
Steve's life was changed when he became a father.
He cared a lot about his children and their education.
Some examples of him caring for his children is he attended their parent/teacher
meetings, did not allow them to watch TV, and had them eat healthy.
Steve Jobs often talked about how he would try to balance his life of being a
father, and his work.
6. Apple Inc.
Steve Jobs' career with Apple Inc. started when he created it with Steve
Wozniak in 1976.
At the time, Steve noticed that all the computers being sold were mainframe
ones, (computers which take up basically a whole room and the cost is
great).
So he and Steve redid the designs they were working on to build personal
computers,(computers much smaller and the price much cheaper then the
mainframe computers).
The solution to this was Apple II, a computer that came put together, opposed
to the Apple I which required you to buy separate pieces.
The Apple II started being sold in 1977 and after a year of being sold, made a
huge amount of money, $2.7 million.
7. Apple Inc. made history in earning money because they made $200 million
dollars in a 3 year period. In 1983, Steve Jobs released Lisa, a computer that
required owners to have some experience with computers.
Lisa did not sell very well, due to the fact that other personal computers from
other competitors, were selling at a lower price.
Steve Jobs resigned in 1985, due to the failure of the Macintosh.
The Macintosh was a computer that had icons, (today, some icons are photo
booth and iMovie), and an arrow on thenscreen, called a mouse
9. NeXT
Steve said he wanted to leave Apple to work on a more advanced computer,
and he would take the best engineers from the Mac team and start a new
company called NeXT.
Later in 1988, the NeXT computer was introduced at a big event held in San
Francisco, and the company wanted the NeXT computer
to end up in schools.
But unfortunately, the computer did not sell well because of its black and white
screen, and ability not to hook up to other computers.
11. The movie script for Toy Story was rewritten and Disney liked it.
Steve Jobs realized the potential of the movie and Pixar's association with
Disney.
In 1995, Steve decided to take Pixar public.
The movie was a huge success.
Toy Story was the first computer-generated animated movie.Steve owned 80%
of Pixar and he made $1.5 million from Pixar's stock success.
However, in 1995, Apple was having its worst year ever.
Steve had been away from Apple for almost 10 years and the CEO of Apple, Gil
Amelio, decided to purchase NeXTSTEP and use its operating system to
replace the Mac OS.
Steve was back at Apple.
12. His title was called "informal adviser to the CEO." In 1997, Apple lost $700
million in sales and the Apple Board of Directors decided to fire Gil Amelio
and replace him with Steve Jobs as the CEO.
Steve reorganized Apple and in 1998 Apple released the iMac. The iMac was very
successful.
After the iMac, Apple released several successful desktop and laptop computers.
In 2001, Apple released what would become its most successful product. It was
the iPod.
iTunes was also released at in 2001 which would revolutionize the music
industry.Apple relased other success products, the iPod Mini, iPod Shuffle,
the iPod nano and the iPod Touch.
Steve as suprised may people as he strats appearing on stage with amzing
products, as of 2009.The most impressive item is the iPad.The ipad would
soonly amke PC computers nothing campared to the ipad which is just like a
computer, but portable.
14. Diagnosed with Cancer
Steve found out he had a rare form of pancreatic cancer in October, 2003, when
doctors were just doing a routine scan and found the tumor/cancer.
Steve kept his cancer a secret, while he searched for a cure.
When his family and people who worked at Apple, that were close to him,
thought they should tell media, Steve's lawyer said they were not allowed to
tell.
But Steve eventually underwent surgery to remove a tumor.
