Steve Jobs was an American inventor and entrepreneur who, together with his partner Steve Wozniak, founded Apple, the company that is at the forefront of computers and mobile phones today. A college dropout with no real qualifications, Jobs went on to become synonymous with iPods, iPhones, and iPads, as well as being a founding father of Pixar Animation Studios.
Steve Jobs’ legacy is evident everywhere – he simplified personal computers so they were accessible to all – and created the world’s first successful touchscreen phone. But he also gave generations of kids some wonderful memories, with movies like Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and Monsters Inc. – memories they can recreate with their own children and grandchildren.
