Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, California. He was adopted and raised by Paul and Clara Jobs in a modest house in Mountain View. From a young age, he showed a great curiosity about how things worked. His adoptive father, who worked as a machinist, taught him how to disassemble and reassemble objects, instilling in him a great attention to detail.
However, he continued to audit classes that interested him, such as calligraphy, which years later would influence the design of Apple computers.
During those years, he also made a spiritual journey to India, seeking enlightenment. He experimented with extreme diets and lived in alternative communities. These experiences shaped his thinking: he sought simplicity, but with depth. He was barely 20 years old and was already beginning to forge a unique identity.
At 21, Jobs convinced Wozniak to start a company together. They converted Steve's parents' garage into their first workshop. There, Apple Computer was born in 1976. Its first product was the Apple I, a motherboard assembled by Wozniak. Jobs, with his business savvy, managed to sell 50 units to a local store.
In 1977, they launched the Apple II, a complete computer with an integrated case and keyboard. It was a sales success and put Apple on the computing map. In 1980, the company went public. Steve, at just 25 years old, became a millionaire.
Although Apple was a financial success, Jobs wanted something bigger. He dreamed of a computer that was as easy to use as a household appliance. Thus, the Macintosh project was born. The team in charge lived under pressure: Jobs demanded perfection. In 1984, they launched the computer with a legendary commercial during the Super Bowl.
The Macintosh was innovative, with a graphical interface and mouse, but it was too expensive. Sales were not as expected. Moreover, internal problems were growing. Jobs, with his difficult temperament, clashed with other executives. Finally, in 1985, he was removed from his own project and left Apple at age 30.
After leaving Apple, Jobs founded NeXT, a company focused on creating computers for the educational sector. Although technically advanced, they were too expensive and did not achieve commercial success. But during this time, Jobs matured as a leader and entrepreneur. At the same time, he bought a small computer graphics division from Lucasfilm and renamed it Pixar. For years, the studio wasn't making a profit. But in 1995, they released "Toy Story," the first fully computer-animated film. It was a resounding success. Pixar became the leader in the animated film industry, and Jobs was back at the center of the tech world.
By 1996, Apple was in crisis. Its products weren't selling, and the competition was gaining ground. In an unexpected move, Apple bought NeXT, which brought Jobs back. In 1997, he became interim CEO.
The first thing he did was simplify. He reduced the number of products, closed divisions, and focused on quality. In 1998, he launched the iMac: colorful, attractively designed, and easy to use. It was an immediate success and changed Apple's image. Then, he introduced the macOS operating system, based on NeXT's software. Apple was back in the spotlight. In 2001, Jobs launched the iPod: a small device that allowed you to carry a thousand songs in your pocket. Along with iTunes, it revolutionized the music industry. Record stores began to close, as people bought digital songs from their computers.
Apple was growing. Jobs also built Apple Stores, stores with a minimalist design where customers could try out the products. It was a risky idea, but it worked. In 2003, he was diagnosed with a rare type of pancreatic cancer. He decided not to have surgery immediately, seeking alternative treatments. It was a decision we would all later regret.
In 2007, Apple launched the iPhone. It was more than a phone: it combined calls, messages, music, the internet, and a touchscreen. It was a revolution. The way people communicated changed forever. Millions of people began carrying an iPhone in their pockets.
That same year, Apple became one of the most important technology companies in the world. Jobs, at 52, was seen as a visionary genius.
