The whole world grieves on the news of the death of Steve Jobs, who revolutionized the world of technology and also made the world realize that good simple technology is for everyone.
Being a college drop-out and a person who never completed his graduation, Steve Jobs built computers in his parents’ garage in the mid-1970s with a friend, Steve Wozniak. Together they founded Apple in 1976 to sell their innovations and creativity.
Apple, based in Cupertino, California, surpassed Microsoft in 2010 to become the world’s most valuable technology company.
