Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson
Steve Jobs is a biography written by Walter Isaacson about the very well known Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs was the creator of Apple and Pixar, two very successful companies in the technology world. The biography covers all of Jobs's business and management tactics, as well as how he became so successful and blazed trails in a business that was not popular when he started. Jobs was as individual as they come. He was a forward thinker, even as a college drop out. Jobs had the ability to pull together amazing things that no one before him could have. Apple began in 1976, when computers were only used in larger facilities. Apple was the first creator of smaller computers that were usable at home. Steve Jobs and a small group of people created the first Apple Macintosh in his garage in the 70's, and when Steve Jobs died in 2011 his net worth was $10.2 billion. Jobs came from a normal upbringing and became a self-made billionaire because of his ability to think for himself and be different. A lot of people probably considered Jobs crazy and weird, but as Jobs said himself, "The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do," and he really did change the world, even if he might not have intended to. Steve Jobs was an amazing individual who changed the world for the better and came from nothing up to the top just by thinking outside the box and being different.
