There
are two famous university dropouts in
the technology world, Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates. You would never
have thought Steve Jobs also dropped out of Uni, well surprise,
surprise, he did. He attended quite a few classes but then slowly began to drop out of them, one by one, until
only one was left, calligraphy. He stayed in this class for the
longest out of all of them. Calligraphy class was what supposedly led
to his expertise in design, the way you carefully need to draw each
letter requires a lot of attention to detail. He then dropped out of
university all together. I'm not implying anything, all I'm saying is
the three inventors of the biggest tech companies of today all
dropped out of college.1. Describe 3 significant contributions that your figure made and the impact of each.
Steve
Jobs, mostly had revolutionary ideas about technology and how to
simplify it. The two, age old revolutions that he was behind where
the graphical user interface (GUI) and the mouse. Now you may be
asking yourself what on earth a GUI is and why is it so important if
I haven't even heard of it. Well a GUI is what allows you to interact
with your computer. To be able to move and click things on a screen.
Without it everything would be black screen with green text. I think
the mouse is rather self explanatory, but yes he did invent that too.
And the third. Which practically reinvented the phone is the iPhone.
Which was invented six years ago, it was what layed down
the baseline for all that came after it..
2. What
is one MORE unique thing you have discovered about your figure?
When he was kicked out of Apple in the late 80s the
first place he went was Italy, where he got the idea for his next
company, called NEXT.
3. What
are the different awards and prizes that your figure has been
awarded.
I can't find any particular prizes Steve has been
awarded.
4. Describe
the death of your figure.
Steve
Jobs died of respiratory arrest, which was related to his
cancer. Millions posted comments on the Apple Facebook page
expressing their gratitude towards this world changer.
I found your post very interesting. It is very nice to know some more about a person we don't know much of and we buy his creatin. I also liked that you explained what GUI means because I wondered to myself what is that, but now I learned one more thing. Great job!
ReplyDeleteMaybe why they droped out of college is because they were already such geniuses with such great ideas that university would not contribute anything really important to them anymore. Also inventors have to catch the right moment before somebody else thinks of it but while the population is ready for such discoveries/ inventions
ReplyDeleteI love Steve Jobs.It is very interesting reading you posts because I get to find out some about a person who the whole world knows but doesn't know any details.Good work Alfie!I cant wait to see your performance on Steve Jobs
