分析 苹果电脑的创始人，Steve Jobs，在其早年的时候并非如此成功．他并不是学校中的尖子生，还经常和他的校友或老师起冲突．但他充满了新奇的想法，然而很少有人了解它们的价值．当他读大学的时候，情况并未改变，于是他半途辍学．Steve Jobs的第一份工作是在雅达利（Atari）作为一名食品游戏设计师．他在那儿仅仅工作了几个月便去印度旅行了．他希望他的旅途能给他带来更多的想法，并使他的生活中变得更好．自他从印度归来，他便生活在加利福尼亚洲的一个农场里．然后，在1975，史蒂夫•乔布斯着手制作了一台新型电脑．随着他的朋友Stephen Wozniak加入，他在自己的卧室设计的苹果电脑，后来在他的车库生产出来．他选择了名为"苹果"，是因为苹果能让他想起在果园的美好时光．
他的苹果电脑竟然是这样一个伟大的成功，史蒂夫•乔布斯很快就成了世界著名的，但不幸的是，他在2011人死于严重的疾病．
