Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple died at 56 due to problems with pancreatic cancer.
He's done many huge things during his time, including
-Co-founding Apple Inc. (currently worth $322.28 Billion)
-Founded Pixar Animation Studios (later bought by Disney for 7.4 Billion)
-after being kicked out of Apple, he founded NeXT Computers, which Apple later bought and renamed Steve as CEO
-Pixar releases Toy Story (Jobs was executive)
-Apple releases the very first iPod
-Apple releases iTunes to combat digital piracy
-Apple releases the first iPhone
-Apple releases the first iPad
Apple's annual profit jumped from $8 Billion in 2000 to $65 Billion.
Not only that, but you can bet a huge amount of technology was and will be inspired by Steve Jobs, he was unafraid to try something different (iTunes, iPhone, iPad) and took risks, and tech would be very different without him.
