Everyone knows “Steve Jobs”- the genius who revolutionized modern technology. He emphasized on style as well as function in your daily used digital devices. Steve Jobs, co-founder of “Apple” in 1976, was forced out of his company in 1985. Again, in 1996, he returned as CEO for “Apple”. Since then, Jobs continued to be the “face” of the “Apple” brand until he died in 2011. Without him, the “ubiquitous technology” of this “modern world” might look something different. The person responsible for those revolutionary technologies was very interesting. Here are some fascinating facts about “Steve Jobs” you might be unaware of. Steve Jobs was a “college dropout”: Steve Jobs proved that “a college degree is not a prerequisite for professional success”. He came from a “working-class” background. He dropped out of “Reed College” within six months of admission due to some financial strain on his family. Interestingly, Jobs once revealed in an interview that the “calligraphy class” at “Reed College” thoroughly inspired the earliest “typography” used in “Mac computers”. “Steve Jobs” started wearing his signature “black turtleneck” as his employees didn’t want to wear specific company uniform: You will see Steve Jobs in a “black turtleneck” paired with “jeans” and “sneakers” in most pictures. This famous top was designed by a Japanese designer “Issey Miyake”. Jobs was hugely inspired by the uniform in “Tokyo headquarters of Sony” while his visit in the ’80s. He admired the “minimalist”“Miyake-designed” uniforms for the employees. Then he hired the designer Miyake to design uniforms for “Apple”. However, his employees hated this idea. Then, Jobs compromised by adopting the "signature Miyake turtleneck". Designer Miyake discontinued making this dress after Jobs's death. Steve Jobs was a business person rather than a techie: Jobs changed the world of technology in the truest sense. However, he was not tech-savvy since his school days. His colleagues told that Jobs was famous for his business ideas rather than technology. “Steve Wozniak”, the co-founder of “Apple” once said in an interview, “Jobs did not know technology. He’d never designed anything as a hardware engineer, and he didn’t know software. He wanted to be important, and the important people are always the business people. So that’s what he wanted to do.” Steve Jobs and his dream about the original “iphone”: Undeniably, iPhone changed cellphones forever. Nowadays cellphones can be regarded as “highly functional mini-computers”. The use of a cellphone is much greater than only making phone calls and texting. You will be surprised to know that the “original iPhone” was supposed to be a normal phone with some advanced features. At the famous “2007 keynote”, while introducing the product, Steve Jobs mentioned, “We want to reinvent the phone ... What’s the killer app? The killer app is making calls. It’s amazing how hard it is to make calls on most phones.” Aren’t those facts about Steve Jobs interesting?
