Jobs was born in 1955, San Francisco, California. His parents put him up in adoption with one requirement, that family had to provide him a college education. He grew up in a neighborhood of engineers working on electronics. At the age of thirteen, he met one of the most important persons in his life: Stephen Wozniak, a eighteen-year-old electronic wiz kid and also an incorrigible prankster.

Five years later, Steve Jobs reached college age, but he only spent one semester at Reed College, then he dropped out. He moved to Oregon, to a hippie commune, and what he basically did was cultivate apples. A few months later, he wanted to look for a job and decided to go back to his home state, California. He worked in Atari, a young video game maker. He visited India with one of his college friends and when he came back he realized that he was interested in his friend Woz's new activities.

He wanted to build his own personal computer or writing software. Jobs convinced Wozniak to start a company for that purpose: Apple Computer was born on April 1, 1976. That's how Apple was born, one of the main technology industries at the moment, changed the world for better. He also created Next and Pixar.
