| Steve jobs founder of Apple company |
The successful American businessman and technology visionary who is best known as the co-founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Apple Inc, was born on 24 February 1955. His parents were two University of Wisconsin graduate students, Syrian-born Abdulfattah Jandali & Joanne Carole Schieble. They were both unmarried at the time. Jandali, who was teaching in Wisconsin when Steve jobs was born, said he had no choice but to put the baby up for adoption because his girlfriend's family members objected to their relationship.

The baby was adopted at birth by Paul Reinhold Jobs (1922–1993) and Clara Jobs (1924–1986). Afterwards, when asked about his adoptive parents, Jobs replied emphatically that Paul & Clara Jobs were my parents. And he stated in his authorized biography that they "were my parents 1,000%." Unknown to him, his biological parents would after marry (December 1955), have a second child, novelist Mona Simpson, in 1957, and divorce in 1962.
The Steve Jobs family moved from San Francisco to Mountain View, California when Steve was five years old. The parents afterwards adopted a daughter, Patti. Paul was a machinist for a company that made lasers, and taught his son rudimentary electronics and also taught how to work with his hands. The father showed Steve how to work on electronic devices in the family garage, demonstrating to his son how to take apart and reconstruct electronics such as radios & televisions. As a result, Steve became interested in and developed a hobby of electronic devices reconstruction and technical tinkering. Clara was an accountant who taught him to read before he went to school.
Jobs's youth was riddled with depression over formal schooling. At Monta Loma Elementary school in Mountain View, he was a prankster whose fourth-grade teacher needed to payola him to study. Jobs tested so well, however, that administrators wanted to skip him further to high school—a proposal his parents declined. Jobs then attended Cupertino Junior High and Homestead High School in Cupertino, California. Between the following years Jobs met Bill Fernandez and Steve Wozniak, a computer whiz kid.

From following high school graduation in 1972, Steve Jobs enrolled at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Reed was an expensive college which Clara and Paul could ill afford. They were spending much of their life savings on their son's higher education. Mr. Steve Jobs dropped out of college after six months and spent the next 18 months dropping in on creative classes, and including a course on calligraphy. He continued auditing classes at Reed while sleeping on the floor in his friends' dorm rooms, and he returning Coke bottles for food money, and getting weekly free meals at the local Hare Krishna temple
In year 1976, Wozniak invented the Apple Icomputer. Steve Jobs, Ronald Wayne and Wozniak, an electronics industry worker, founded Apple computer in the garage of Jobs's parents in order to sell it. And they received funding from a then-semi-retired Intel product-marketing manager and engineer Mike Markkula.
Through Apple, Mr. Steve Jobs was widely recognized as a charismatic pioneer of the personal computer revolution and for his impressive career in the computer and consumer electronics fields. Jobs also co-founded and served as chief executive of Animation Studios (Pixar), and he became a member of the board of directors of The Walt Disney Company in 2006, when Disney acquired Pixar.
Mr. Steve Jobs died at his California home around 3 p.m. on October 5, 2011, due to complications from a relapse of his already treated pancreatic cancer.
