Steve Jobs
He was born in San Francisco (California) in 1955, the result of the
relationship between Abdulfattah Jandali a Syrian Muslim immigrant, and Joanne
Carole Schieble, an American of Swiss and German ascedencia, two young college
students who commit him for adoption to a middle class couple, Paul and Clara
Jobs (Hagopian) of Armenian origin. His biological parents later marry and have
a daughter, the novelist Mona Simpson, whom Steve would not know until
adulthood. Within the new family Steve grew up with his other sister, Patty.
His father, Paul Jobs was a machinist for the state railway company and his
mother a housewife.
Steve Jobs was an entrepreneur and business mogul in the
computer industry and the American entertainment industry. He was co-founder
and CEO of Apple Inc. and maximum individual shareholder of The Walt Disney
Company.
Steve always reflected an outgoing personality, learned to
control, manage and interact with large corporations. From childhood he
distinguished himself as a curious person and a wonderful imagination, example
of this is that Steve saw his first computer at the age of 12 years, was so
impressed he immediately knew he wanted to work with computers. A very
observant person. His great talent led him to become one of the most
millionaires when he was only 26 years old.
As a teenager and in high school I attended lectures at
Hewlett-Packard. On one occasion, Steve asked the then president of the

internship in your company. Steve would then hired as summer, coinciding there
with Steve Wozniak through a mutual friend, Bill Fernandez. In 1972 he enters
the University Reed College in Portland (Oregon). Attend her just 6 months
before leaving due to the high cost of their studies. Instead of returning
home, continues to attend classes as a listener about 18 months, living off
jobs with paltry income. Interestingly, studies in calligraphy you will design

along with a boyhood friend, Steve Wozniak, in the garage of his home. Buoyed

Time in 1982.
Since he had entered adulthood during the 90s and became a
subsidiary acquired Lucasfilm in Pixar, which revolutionized the entertainment
industry with the release of Toy Story. The integration of the Disney company,
which was a provider, would make Jobs the largest individual shareholder of the
entertainment giant.
Steve had many other contributions to innovative
