in electronics and design.
He became interested in computers when he was a teenager and attended lectures after school at Hewlett
Packard. In 1974 Jobs got a job as a technician at the video game maker Atari. He saved enough money to
backpack around India, and then returned to Atari where he met Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.

functional perfection which became Apple’s trademark. Jobs guided apple to be a major player in the digital
revolution. The introduction of the Imac and other cutting-edge products made Apple a powerful brand with a
loyal following.
