Early life and education

Steven Paul Jobs was born in San Francisco on 24 February 1955, to two university
students, Joanne Carole Schieble and Syrian born Abdulfattah "John" Jandali, who were
both unmarried at the time. He was adopted at birth by Paul Reinhold Jobs (1922–1993)
and Clara Jobs (1924–1986). When asked about his "adoptive parents," Jobs replied
emphatically that Paul and Clara Jobs "were my parents." He later stated in his authorized
biography that they "were my parents 1,000%."
The Jobs family moved from San Francisco to Mountain View, California when Steve was
five years old. Paul and Clara later adopted a daughter, Patti. Paul Jobs, a machinist for a
company that made lasers, taught his son rudimentary electronics and how to work with
his hands. Clara was an accountant, who taught him to read before he went to school.
Following high school graduation in 1972, Jobs enrolled at Reed College in Portland,
Oregon. Although he dropped out after only one semester, he continued auditing classes
at Reed, while sleeping on the floor in friends' rooms, returning Coke bottles for food
money, and getting weekly free meals at the local Hare Krishna temple. Jobs later said, "If
I had never dropped in on that single calligraphy course in college, the Mac would have
never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts."

Health
• In October 2003, Jobs was diagnosed with cancer, and
in mid-2004, he announced to his employees that he
had a cancerous tumor in his pancreas. The prognosis
for pancreatic cancer is usually very poor.
• Jobs announced his resignation as Apple's CEO on
August 24, 2011. "Unfortunately, that day has come,"
wrote Jobs, for he could "no longer meet [his] duties
and expectations as Apple's CEO". Jobs became
chairman of the board and named Tim Cook his
successor. Jobs had worked for Apple until the day
before his death.

• Jobs died at his California home around 3 p.m. on October 5, 2011, due to
complications from a relapse of his previously treated islet-cell
neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer, resulting in respiratory arrest. He had
lost consciousness the day before, and died with his wife, children and
sister at his side.
• His death was announced by Apple in a statement which read:
•
“We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today. Steve's
brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich
and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.His
greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them
and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts.”

Honors and public recognition

After Apple's founding, Jobs became a symbol of his company and industry.
When Time named the computer as the 1982 "Machine of the Year", the magazine
published a long profile of Jobs as "the most famous maestro of the micro".
Jobs was awarded the National Medal of Technology by President Ronald Reagan in
1984, and a Jefferson Award for Public Service in the category "Greatest Public Service
by an Individual 35 Years or Under“ in 1987. On November 27, 2007, Jobs was named
the most powerful person in business byFortune magazine.
In September 2011, Jobs was ranked No.17 on Forbes: The World's Most Powerful
People. In December 2010, the Financial Times named Jobs its person of the year for
2010.
At the time of his resignation, and again after
his death, Jobs was widely described as a
visionary, pioneer and genius—perhaps one of
the foremost—in the field of
business, innovation, and product design, and
a man who had profoundly changed the face
of the modern world.
After his resignation as Apple's CEO, Jobs was
characterized as the Thomas Edison and Henry
Ford of his time.
