Steve Jobs’, the co-founder of Apple, passing has been greatly celebrated for his technological genius –But it took “quite some time” to recognize his brilliance. Jobs passed away at the age of 56 on Oct 5.

Jobs had been suffering from pancreatic cancer since 2004.  Apple had announced in January that Jobs would be taking an unspecified medical leave of absence.

Jobs then stepped down as CEO in late August.  Jobs made such a significant difference in the world with all of his technological inventions.

Some of his inventions include: the first Apple computer in 1977 to the most recent MacBooks and desktops, the iPod and iTunes in early 2000, the first iPhone in 2007 and the iPad in 2010.  The most recent of his inventions is the new iPhone 4s.

Jobs was born on Feb.5, 1955 in San Francisco.

I have to admit, until I heard about the inventor of Apple passing, I never knew who he was. After hearing about his recent death, I started researching him.

I was quite intrigued on what I read. He was a very intelligent man, but no one knew it for quite some time.  

Jobs had a friend back in California who was learning skills and assembling somewhat small computers. Jobs began a partnership with him, resulting in the founding of Apple Computer in 1976.

Jobs ran the sales part of things as well as distribution while his partner dealt with the technical side of things.

The world of technology will be forever different without Jobs. But with his amazing team of 49,000 employees, the Apple world should continue on to honour his name and continue coming out with the latest gadgets.
