IT House reported on February 25 that Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, and would be celebrating his 67th birthday if he were alive today. Jobs, a co-founder and former CEO of Apple, died in 2011 after battling pancreatic cancer. He was only 56 years old.
Jobs's Apple indisputably changed the world, from launching its first Apple computer in 1976 to launching the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Jobs founded and managed the company with Steve Wozniak in 1976, but left the company in 1985 to create NeXT. Apple acquired NeXT in 1997, when Jobs rejoined Apple and remained CEO until his death in 2011.
After rejoining the company, Jobs oversaw the launch of multiple products that propelled Apple to become one of the world's largest tech companies. Originally powered by Mac and iPod, Apple became a truly global focal point after the iPhone was introduced in 2007. Jobs led Apple with a culture of innovation that the company still operates within today.
After Jobs died in 2011, Tim Cook, who had previously served as Apple's head of operations, became CEO. Cook once said that Jobs's ideas, unwavering perfectionism, dedication to hard work and desire for innovation were "the foundation of Apple."
Today Tim Cook tweeted again in memory of Jobs.
"Commemorating Steve's birthday is not simple. In these challenging times, I remember his call to use our time wisely, to strive for excellence, and to make the world a better place than we found out. Today was supposed to be his 67th birthday. ”
Previously, Apple also opened a "memorial to Steve" website, where people shared their memories of Jobs.
More than 1 million people from around the world shared their memories, thoughts and feelings about Steve. They all have one thing in common — from personal friends to colleagues to owners of Apple products — that they've all been touched by his passion and creativity.
