I think every people in this world will know this guy right here. He is Steve Jobs, the co-founderand chief executive officer of Apple Computer, a leader in the field of personal computing which he co-founded in 1976. Steve Jobs also previously served as chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios and he became a member of the board of directors of The Walt Disney Company in 2006.
When Jobs was twenty one, he and a friend, Steve Wozniak, built a personal computer that they called the Apple. The Apple changed people's idea of what a computer should be. Thanks to the Apple, people's image of computers changed from being a gigantic and enormous mass of vacuum tubes only used by big business and the government to a small box used by ordinary people. No company has done more to democratize the computer and make it user-friendly than Apple Computer. Steve Jobs software design for the Macintosh introduced the windows interface and the mouse which set a new standard for graphical interface applications and interface interaction.
As Apple continued to expand, the company began looking for an experienced executive to help manage its expansion. In 1983, Steve Jobs lured John Sculley away from Pepsi-Cola to serve as Apple's CEO, asking, "Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to come with me and change the world?"
Nice job, but it would have been nice to have information that we DIDN'T learn in class.
