Steve Jobs was born on 24th February 1955 in San Francisco, California. As a child, he often worked with his father or electronics.
In high school, he met Bill Fernandez and Steve Wozniak(or “Woz”). Woz and Bill showed Jobs a computer board that they were building at the time. Jobs was very interested in it.
After high school, Jobs went to one of the best colleges in Oregon. However, he dropped out only after a few months. In the meantime, Woz worked for Hewlett-Packard, but found time to build his own computer. When Jobs saw what Woz had done, he could imagine that people would need it very much.
Together, they set up a company called Apple. Apple Computer became a big success, and this made Jobs a rich man. Unfortunately, Jobs's personality(性格) made him very difficult to work with. He left Apple to set up another company. Soon, Apple started to do badly. Jobs returned to Apple and helped make the company successful again.
Back at Apple, Jobs was responsible (负责) for the development of the iMac, iTunes, iPod, iPhone and iPad.
In 2003, Jobs got very ill and died on 5th October 2011.
