Who Was Steve Jobs?

     Steven Paul Jobs (San Francisco, California, February 24, 1955 - Palo Alto, California, October 5, 2011) was an American inventor, entrepreneur and tycoon in the computer industry. He stood out as co-founder, president and chief executive officer of Apple Inc. and for revolutionizing six industries: personal computers, animated films, music, phones, tablets and digital publications. In addition to his liaison with Apple, he was executive director of the computer graphics animation company Pixar and a maximum individual shareholder in The Walt Disney Company. He died on October 5, 2011, at the age of 56, due to pancreatic cancer.

    In the late 1970s, Jobs, in partnership with Steve Wozniak and Mike Markkula, among others, developed and marketed one of the first successful lines of personal computers, the Apple II series. In the early 1980s, he was among the first to realize the commercial potential of the graphical user interface guided by the Mouse (computing), which led to the creation of the Macintosh.  

     After losing a power struggle with the board in 1985, Jobs was fired from Apple and founded NeXT, a platform development company targeting the higher education and management markets. The purchase of NeXT by Apple in 1996 took Jobs back to the company he had helped to found, then being its CEO from 1997 to 2011, the year he announced his resignation, recommending Tim Cook as successor.
