Steve Jobs – creative genius
Steve Jobs has become a legend in the world of computers and gadgets and changed the way we all use technology.
Steven Paul Jobs was born on February 24, 1955 in San Francisco, California, and was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs.
In 1961, the family moved to Mountain View, California. This area was becoming a center of electronics, and soon people started to call it “Silicon Valley”. (Silicon is used to make all sorts of electronic parts.)
