In a world with so much technology, it's hard to imagine that there was once a time when people didn't have cell phones or computers. The company named "Apple" took the world by storm. It is now one of the biggest companies in the world.

Jobs began working on Apple Computer with Steve Wozniak- someone he grew close too while working at the video game company Atari. Jobs was a college dropout, and Wozniak had been expelled from the University of Colorado Boulder. Despite their lack of higher education, Wozniak invented the Apple I, while Jobs oversaw it.

They sold the Apple I, but it didn't sell well. They soon after got funding to create a new computer. After creating the Apple II, they introduced it at the West Coast Computer Fair. It became a highly successful mass-produced microcomputer. It generated $3 million in sales in the first year alone. Apple was now a name known everywhere.

Jobs wasn't just a businessman; his personal life was quite hectic. His girlfriend became pregnant and didn't know what to do. She had the baby and Jobs denied that it was his for years. He didn't get to know his daughter until she was already in elementary
