Childhood years

Steve Jobs was born in 1955 in San Francisco, California to a family of University of Wisconsin graduates. However, the parents send the unnamed child to another family. He is cared for by Clara and Paul Jobs and named Steve Paul Jobs. Clara was an accountant and her husband Paul was a machinist. When Steve was young, his father would teach him how to disassemble and reassemble electrical appliances. This interest instilled in the child a sense of self-confidence and strength, and encouraged him to make friends with electronics. Despite Steve’s sharp wit, he struggled to get an education in school. In the small classes he was a rebellious idiot, unwilling to study. Through the method used by an experienced teacher, Steve began to read aloud. That is, the teacher not only gave Steve an assessment for each task he performed, but also rewarded him with money. A few years later, Steve went to high school, where he met his future colleague Steve Wozniak.

Apple Computers

After graduating from high school, Jobs was admitted to Pid College. However, he dropped out after half a year without finding any field of his own.

They have made cars smaller, cheaper, more understandable and more affordable for consumers. In 1980, Apple Computers was transformed into an open joint stock company, and from the first day of trading, its value reached $ 1,2 billion. Steve approached Coca-Cola marketing expert John Scully with a proposal to run the company.
