What man could possibly change how people use personal computers, phones and listen to music in a lifetime? Steve Jobs believed he could, and proved not to fail.
Five decades ago, a man that should completely renovate big part of every ones life, was born. This man was Steve Paul Jobs, and he changed the world. The following text is a summary of his life and his importance to the society.
Mister Jobs was a rebel. A shocker? Not really, it is the crazy ones who make an impact. He was a problem-maker in school, and he got expelled several times.

Following high school graduation in the early 70s, Jobs enrolled at Reed College, a favourite among the hippies. Although he dropped out after only a year, he continued to participate on several classes he found interesting. He pretty much did what ever he wanted.
He was known for being a rude, and often times unbearably mean man with serious lack of social-skills. He was often high on LSD, which he later said was one of the top three most significant things he did in his life, and frequently “far off”. His lack of an education and social intellect would not become an obstacle in his way for success; he only needed the right friends.
Steve Wozniak – a true computer-genius, was a man Jobs found interest in. A rebel in his own way, Wozniak was – tricking teachers and elderly with childish and harmless pranks. The two Steve’s were both brilliant and geniuses in their own respect. They became partners: Wozniak was the nerdy engineer, and Jobs the guy who knew how to wrap the technology into a cute box, make it human friendly and sell it to the general people. They would very soon start Apple, a branding name now bigger than “Disney”.
In the garage of Mr Jobs’ stepdad, the two brilliant minds invented “Apple I”. This was
