response for biography of steve jobs by Karen Plumentheal

Response for a biography by Karen Blumenthal "Steve Jobs the man who thought different"

             I recently read a biography about Steve Jobs written by Karen Blumenthal. The book is a first hand source of Steve Jobs' life. While being interviewed by Karen Blumenthal, at one point in the interview he talked about his childhood. From the interview i learned he was originally born to a woman named Joanne Schieble and Abdulfattah "John" Jandali (his biological parents). His real/biological parents were both graduates of Wisconsin University. John and Joanne soon enough gave unnamed Steve up for adoption. Soon after adoption took place his biological parents got married and had another child his biological sister Mona Simpson. Jobs didn't know about his biological parents  or of their existence until he was the age of twenty seven.

             Soon enough he was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs. Paul was a retired coast guard.and Clara Jobs was an accountant. Jobs' was raised in silicon valley California. Growing up Steve and Paul Jobs would work together on electronics in their family garage, so that's where Steve developed a love of electronics later on leading to inventions w/ Steve Wozniak.

              After High School Jobs attended Reed College in Portland, Oregon.after a few months six to be exact he dropped out of college. In 1974 he decided to join Atari because of the love he had for pong (a game made by Atari in the 1970's).after some time in Atari he set off to India in seek of spiritual enlightenment . In 1976 after his "quest for enlightenment" Wozniak and jobs started to work together. They started they're work in jobs' garage. After dedication, for example Wozniak sold his beloved calculator and jobs sold his car. And after many experimental designs they finally had a working machine, which was the Macintosh. 

             Jobs and Wozniak made a series of this that they intended to gain $666.66, it then sold for around 774.000.00. Also the second Apple series more known as at the time the Apple II was wildly popular, sales increased by 700 percent more than $130 billion. Sales from the apple I series was in the 100 thousand digit then when it went to Apple II series sales the amount of money netted jumped to the 100 million digit. which is also evidence of Apple products becoming popular at the time

             In 1980 apple computers became wildly popular, so jobs needed extra help. he needed somebody who was quick and good with money, so he turned to the marketing expertise of John Scully of Pepsi-cola. John Scully became the president of apple thanks to Jobs.

             After some time Steve Jobs was fired from apple .Steve Jobs was partially affected emotionally because of his "departure" aka getting kicked out of his own company, but he had the urge to continue on w/ electronics. so he bought a animation company from George Lucas and made a new company call "NeXT".  

          After some time to perfect his NeXT computer pixar bought the computer.Pixar then made toy story, finding Nemo, monsters inc., up and my old favorite the incredibles.

             All in all Steve Jobs through hardships and easy times  he ends up being one of the world's most known person.Then fate just decides to diagnose Steve Jobs with Pancreatic Cancer and end his reign of successful products. So now apple is left to just upgrade the iPhone. Even though he didn't share anything with Steve Wozniak Even, though now everybody now knows about Steve Wozniak playing a big part in the history of apple. Although i will admit he did live a successful life in his career until of course he was booted out of his own company or when NeXT floundered trying to sell its computers,  he wasn't fair especially when it came to credit once again Steve Wozniak is a victim to this credit stealing. In conclusion he was a successful man who didn't share credit
