Steve Jobs

             Our lives depend on technology. In the developed world nine out of ten people have computers. For example, companies need them for communication, presentations etc. If computers have problems, companies lose business and lose money. Everything is on the computers. First of all why were computers made?

Steve Jobs is currently the largest shareholder at Disney and is also a member of Disney's Board of Directors. Jobs is thought of as a leader in both the computer and entertainment industries. Together with the Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak in the late 70s, Jobs helped to “popularize the concept” of the personal home computer.

In 1985 after losing a power-struggle with Apple's board of directors, Jobs founded NeXT, “a computer platform” which was made for marketing and education. Apple bought this in 1997 and Steve Jobs was back in the game. Once again he was back with Apple and was the Chief Executive Officer.  “(Who invented the computer?) is not a question with a simple answer. The real answer is that many inventors contributed to the history of computers and that a computer is a complex piece of machinery made up of many parts, each of which can be considered a separate invention” - (). In 1937 the first freely programmable computer, then the memory of computers, in 1962 first computer game, 1971 a microprocessor, then ram chip spreadsheets word processors etc. , and in 1969 the original internet came. Then comes the Apple Lisa Computer in 1983. 1984 comes Apple Macintosh Computer and in 1985 Microsoft Windows which begins the “friendly” war with Apple. The Apple computer was made as a personal home computer. Its point was to be easy to use. They made it simple. People at that time couldn’t understand technology. In 2001 Steve Jobs introduces the Ipod, which has changed the music industry. It was a small computer with 5 buttons and a click wheel, on which music, contacts and notes from computers would be stored. The development and sale of the apple computer and eventual the ipod by Steve Jobs, has made a variety of skills easier and quicker.
