The Apple co-founder never seized to amaze his audience with his endless unique innovations.

He dropped out of college and began only taking classes he found interesting, then he starte...

For this research project I will be writing about what Steve jobs accomplished during his life. He developed many things that we all know and love one of which being the wonderfully designed IPhone. I also know that everywhere you go even when you just walk across the street you are bound to see a person using an IPhone. I know a lot about all the things he invented especially the line of IPods that can hold from one hundred to two thousand songs and apps because I have been using one since the day they came out. I don’t know as much on the other devices like the IPads, MacBook’s, Apple TV’s but I will by the end of this paper. Steve wasn’t just the founder of Apple but he also worked with a software company called NeXT which he later merged with Apple. He also part owner of Pixar and helped develop movies such as “Finding Nemo” and “Toy Story” This is some of what I will be talking about in my report.
The modern correspondent to these historic giants is Steve Jobs. From beginning to end his life is a show of the true American determination that the dream makes every strive for. He started in nothing less than his garage programming computers. Years went by, he is jumping over each hurdle as it comes, but he does not capitulate. He keeps going and eventually, Steve Jobs becomes the CEO of one of the biggest computer
In 1976 college dropouts Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, assisted by Ron Wayne embarked on a path to start a tech company that would create new innovative products by connecting people all over the world. This company came to be known as Apple Computers which has become a global leader in Technology and cultural innovation. The rise of Apple computers did not come easy and along with the major success obtained their failures have not gone without notice. Yet, through the joy of success and the agony of defeat, Apple has continued to reinvent its brand over four decades.
Steve Jobs (CEO and chairman of Apple Inc.) was an American entrepreneur and inventor. He was born in February 24, 1955 and founded Apple Inc. with his high school buddy Steve Wozniak in 1976. But later in 1976, when Apple was about to bankrupt he returned to it as advisor and Interim CEO. He made Apple profitable from near bankruptcy by 1998 (Walter Isaacson, 2013). From (1996-2011), he proved himself as one of the best engineering leaders of the world and made Apple the most innovative company of the world.
Overall the speech-structure, sense of wisdom, and experience, topped by his widely recognized success, empowers his speech to be strongly convincing. Meanwhile, the fallacies and faith requiring combinations of propositions Jobs’ gives, topped by a bit of contradictory context in the eyes of the audience, deducts from the intensity of his overall persuasion. Given the circumstances, the audience, and the situation, Steve Jobs was able to deliver a notably strong, somewhat inspirational and lifting final word to the Stanford graduates that day on June 12th 2005.
It was Steve Jobs who made Apple leave the garage and make leaps and bounds in the world of technology. Steve Wozniak made the first prototype, but it was Jobs who “saw the potential” in his computer and persuaded Wozniak to sell it (Peterson 106). Even though that first computer saw very little success, Jobs knew that Apple had potential and so released the Apple II. From the beginning Jobs knew what the consumers wanted, and where computers were going to take the world; he had a vision of the opportunities in technology and saw that Apple needed to move in a different direction. In 1984, one year before he left, Jobs finished the Macintosh computer system. He was pushed from his original computer design project, “the Lisa”, and then raced to release the Mac first, but the Lisa was released to the public first. Although the Lisa came out first, the Mac “[became] synonymous with Apple, mark[ing] a…revolution in…personal computing,” (Peterson 106).
With his unique love for technology, Steve Jobs changed the world with his revolutionary innovations, developments, and extremely successful companies. He made communication faster, people’s lives easier, and invented many famous products. Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, California (Ed. Sheila Dow and Jaime E. Noce). Throughout his high school career, Jobs loved electronics. He was constantly wiring the house with speakers or building frequency counters with his Hewlett-Packard Explorers Club, a group of students who met weekly to learn about what HP was working on. One day the club members took a trip to see firsthand at what HP was developing at the time. That was the day Jobs saw his very first desktop computer (Walter Isaacson 16-17).
The purpose of writing this essay is to give an idea how these two respected CEOs of multinational companies has changed the world. Technology is booming nowadays, even the minor things that we can do manually are done using technology. Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple computer and Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, has changed the world. These two leaders are best known for their innovations which has taken our world to the next level. Steve and Bill has got something in common. Surprisingly, both of these CEO had never graduated from college, but they are known to be the world most successful leaders and they both work in the same kind of company (Lashinsky, 2013). Nevertheless, their leadership styles differs (Peralta,2011). The way they treat the employees at the workplace is in contrast.
The film I have chosen is “Steve Jobs” a 2015 biography film directed by Danny Boyle and was written by Aaron Sorkin. The entire film spans from 1984 to 1998 of Steve Jobs’ early career into Apple, turning it around from rock bottom to one of the leading technological industries of today. Majority of the film seems to show off the early build of the Macintosh and how it would compete against other computers on the market. While at the same time, it shows the lowest point in Apple’s financial career and one of their highest points as well. In the early moments of the film, Steve Jobs hustling with his crew to get his first Macintosh demo up and working in front of the press, while at the same time dealing with family issues with his ex-girlfriend
