Steve Jobs Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Inc. has led the company’s pioneer revolution across the technological domain with masterpieces like the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955.

Jobs’ very first interaction with the computer terminal was on his visit to Ames Center with his father, and his interest got further developed during his father’s relocation to the Lockheed Missiles and Space Division. As Jobs grew up within the boundaries of Silicon Valley USA, his desire for being a part of this world was further augmented. Having so many electronic guys around, he also started making attempts i.e., amplifying sound without an amplifier and proving his father wrong (Jobs, 2011; Isaacson, 2011). This event made Jobs realize that he was smarter than his parents.
