"STEVE JOBS "A MAN WHO CHANGE THE COMPUTER WORLD.

Jobs co-founded Apple in 1976 to sell Wozniak's Apple I personal computer. The duo gained fame and wealth a year later for the Apple II , one of the first highly successful mass-produced personal computers. In 1979, after a tour of Xerox PARC, Jobs saw the commercial potential of the Xerox Alto , which was mouse -driven and had a
graphical user interface (GUI). This led to development of the failed Apple Lisa in 1983, followed by the successful Macintosh in 1984. In addition to being the first mass-produced computer with a GUI, the Macintosh instigated the sudden rise of the desktop publishing industry in 1985 with the addition of the Apple
LaserWriter , the first laser printer to feature vector graphics . Following a long power struggle, Jobs was forced out of Apple in 1985.

Homestead High
The zoning location of the Los Altos home meant that Jobs would be able to attend Homestead High School in (and with strong ties to) Silicon Valley .
He began his first year there in late 1968 along with Fernandez.  Neither Jobs nor Fernandez (whose father was a lawyer) came from engineering households and thus decided to enroll in John McCollum's "Electronics 1. McCollum and the rebellious Jobs (who had grown his hair long and become involved in the growing counterculture) would eventually clash and Jobs began to lose interest in the class. He also had no interest in sports and would later say that he didn't have what it took to "be a jock. I was always a loner."
He underwent a change during mid-1970: "I got stoned for the first time; I discovered Shakespeare, Dylan Thomas , and all that classic stuff. I read Moby Dick and went back as a junior taking creative writing classes." Jobs also later noted to his official biographer that "I started to listen to music a whole lot, and I started to read more outside of just science and technology—
Shakespeare , Plato. I loved King Lear ... when I was a senior I had this phenomenal AP English class . The teacher was this guy who looked like
Ernest Hemingway. He took a bunch of us snowshoeing in Yosemite." From that point, Jobs developed two different circles of friends: those who were involved in electronics and engineering and those who were interested in art and literature. [2] These dual interests were particularly reflected during Job's senior year as his best friends were Wozniak and his first girlfriend, the artistic Homestead junior Chris an Brennan.
In 1971 after Wozniak began University of California, Berkeley , Jobs began to visit him in Berkeley a few times a week. This experience led him to study in nearby Stanford University 's student union. Jobs also decided that rather than join the electronics club, he would put on light shows with a friend for Homestead's avant-garde Jazz program. He was described by a Homestead classmate as "kind of a brain and kind of a hippie ... but he never fit into either group. He was smart enough to be a nerd, but wasn't nerdy. And he was too intellectual for the hippies, who just wanted to get wasted all the time. He was kind of an outsider. In high school everything revolved around what group you were in. and if you weren't in a carefully defined group, you weren't anybody. He was an individual, in a world where individuality was suspect." By his senior year in Fall 1971, he was taking freshman English class at Stanford and working on a Homestead underground film project with Chris an.  In mid-1972, after graduation and before leaving for Reed College , Jobs and Brennan rented a house from their other roommate, All.
During the summer, Brennan, Jobs, and Steve Wozniak found an advertisement posted on the De Anza College bulletin board for a job that required people to dress up as characters from Alice in Wonderland. Brennan portrayed Alice while Wozniak, Jobs, and Al portrayed the White Rabbit and the Mad Hatter.
He died with Pancreatic cancer.
