The creative genius of Apple, Steve Jobs, who introduced the entire world to personal computers and later came up with innovative devices such as iPod, iPhone & iPad, is no more. At an age of 56, the death of Steve Jobs probably puts an end to the golden era that Apple saw. Jobs was not an active part of the company in his recent days, but it was his name, that people always believed in before buying an Apple product.

Born in 1955, Jobs was adopted by Paul Jobs and Clara Jobs. He never tried to get in touch with his biological father Abdulfattah John Jandali, but met with biological mother Joanne Simpson at certain events. Till death, he was in touch with his biological sister Mona Simpson.

Steve Jobs, along with his two friends Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne, formed Apple in 1976 inside a garage. It saw fine improvement with time, however due to internal power struggle; Jobs had to leave the company in 1985. Jobs later formed NeXT Computer and helped it to reach the peak of success. Apple, in 1996, announced its decision of acquiring NeXT Computer and hence, Jobs was back in the company. With his innovative mindset and thrive for technologically excellent products, Jobs soon become the face of the company and went on to launch several products that were adored by common men. The reason of his death hasn’t been divulged by either the company or his family, but, it can be concluded saying that this death will not allow the technical world to stay same, as it was before.
