Dan Pražák February 24, 1955. The day when one of the greatest visionaries of recent times and at the same time one of the most important personalities of the computer industry - Steve Jobs - was born. Today would have been Jobs' 64th birthday. Unfortunately, on October 5, 2011, he ended his life with pancreatic cancer, which also became fatal for the recently deceased designer Karl Lagerfeld.
Steve Jobs was best known as the co-founder and CEO of Apple, which he founded in 1976 with Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. But during his lifetime he also became the owner and CEO of the Pixar studio and the founder of the NeXT Computer company. At the same time, he is rightly called an icon of the technological world, an innovator and also a great speaker.
Jobs was able to change the world of technology several times with his products, in the development of which he played a fundamental role at Apple. Whether it was the Apple II (1977), the Macintosh (1984), the iPod (2001), the first iPhone (2007) or the iPad (2010), they were all iconic devices that contributed significantly to what technology is today we use and what they look like.
Today, Jobs' birthday was also remembered by Tim Cook on Twitter. The current CEO of Apple noted that Steve's vision is reflected in the entire Apple Park - in the new headquarters of the company, which Jobs presented to the world at the end of his life and thus became his last work. "We miss him today on his 64th birthday, we miss him every day," Cook concludes his tweet with a video of a pond on the Apple Park campus.
Steve's vision is reflected all around us at Apple Park. He would have loved it here, in this place he dreamed up — the home and inspiration for Apple's future innovations. We miss him today on his 64th birthday, and every day. pic.twitter.com/yRrTiA1iyz
