Steve
Jobs was born February 24, 1955, to two University of Wisconsin graduate
students who gave him up for adoption.(past tense)
Smart but directionless, Jobs experimented with different pursuits before
starting Apple Computers with Stephen Wozniak in the
Jobs' family garage.
Apple's revolutionary products, which include the iPod, iPhone and iPad, are now seen as dictating the evolution of modern technology.

Steven Paul Jobs was born on February (past coutingous tense) 24, 1955, to Joanne Simpson and Abdulfattah
"John" Jandali, two University of Wisconsin graduate students who
gave their unnamed son up for adoption. His father, Abdulfattah Jandali, was a
Syrian political science professor and his mother, Joanne Simpson, worked as a speech therapist (past tense). Shortly after Steve was
placed for adoption, his biological parents married and had another child, Mona
Simpson. It was not until Jobs was 27 that he was able to uncover information
on his biological parents.
As an infant, Steven was adopted by Clara and
Paul Jobs and named Steven Paul Jobs (past coutingous tense). Clara worked as an accountant and Paul was
a Coast Guard veteran and machinist. The family lived in Mountain View within
California's Silicon Valley. As a boy, Jobs and his father would work on
electronics in the family garage. Paul would show his son how to take apart and
reconstruct electronics, a hobby which instilled confidence, tenacity, and
mechanical prowess in young Jobs.
While Jobs has always been an intelligent and
innovative thinker (past perfect tense), his youth
was riddled with frustrations over formal schooling. In elementary school he
was a prankster whose fourth grade teacher needed to bribe him to study. Jobs
tested so well, however, that administrators wanted to skip him ahead to high
school—a proposal his parents declined.
After he did enroll in
high school, Jobs spent his free time at Hewlett-Packard. It was there that he
befriended computer club guru Steve Wozniak. Wozniak was a brilliant computer
engineer, and the two developed great respect for one another.
