When Steve Jobs told his daughter, “I’m going to put a thousand songs in your pocket,” she could hardly believe him. Yet, this statement captured the revolutionary vision that would later transform the world. Jobs, an American inventor, designer, and entrepreneur, was the co-founder, chief executive, and chairman of Apple Computer, based in Cupertino, California. He was the creative force behind groundbreaking products like the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, which reshaped modern technology and everyday life.
Born on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, California, Jobs developed an early interest in electronics while working with his father, Paul, in their garage. His father’s lessons in dismantling and rebuilding gadgets nurtured his confidence and creativity. In 1976, at just 21, Jobs co-founded Apple Computer with Steve Wozniak in the family garage. To fund their startup, Jobs sold his Volkswagen van and Wozniak sold his scientific calculator. Together, they revolutionised the computer industry by designing smaller, affordable, and user-friendly machines for ordinary consumers.
Jobs’ later leadership at Apple saw the company’s revival through innovative products like the iMac, iPod, and iPhone, which changed how people used technology. Under his vision, Apple became known for sleek design, innovation, and effective branding. By 2008, powered by iTunes and iPod sales, Apple became the second-largest music retailer in the United States and topped Fortune magazine’s list of “America’s Most Admired Companies.”
After stepping down as CEO in August 2011 due to health reasons, Tim Cook succeeded him. Steve Jobs passed away on October 5, 2011, in Palo Alto, California. As the founder of Pixar and NeXT, Jobs left behind a legacy of creativity and innovation that forever changed the status quo.
