Steve Jobs Research Paper

Creator of Apple, phones, and computers are three words that people think of in connection to Steve Jobs. Many people know that Steve Jobs was the creator of Apple, but he was so much more. As a creator of technology, Steve Jobs showed America that Working hard and never giving up can create something amazing. He left a legacy as the father of technology. The early of Steve Jobs was difficult. His biological parents gave him up to adoption. He was later adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs. This helped Jobs because his dad taught him how to use electronics at an early age. This allowed Jobs to become tech savvy, and interested in technology. “My dad did not have a deep understanding of electronics, but he’d encountered it a lot in automobiles and

This later inflenced him because Wozniak showed him the Homebrew Computer Club. Wozniak also showed Jobs his computer, making Jobs want to make his own personal computer. They first got the money to build the computer by selling their car and calculator. These experiences motivated him later on in life. There were many problems in the world when Jobs lived. So he decided to make a computer shop with his friend Wozniak. They called it the Byte Shop. This store allowed them to get their first real income of $15,000 which funded them to create more tech.An example of this is in 1976 Jobs and Wozniak built the first Apple computer, known as the Apple I.

There were many mice out there, but they were way too expensive. Jobs realized no average computer user would ever buy one. So he made his own mouse and made sure every new product he made was perfect for average or hardcore users. Jobs’ remakes of overpriced or cheap products helped people find the middle of the two.
