My final post about Steve will be about what I've learned about him and his life. I will also be explaining some thing I thought were challenging and some things I found to be rewarding.

One thing that I have learned about Steve was that he owned Pixar from 1994 to 2006. I found that to be very interesting. In 2006 he sold it to a man named Walt Disney for an outstanding 7.4 billion dollars. As of when he sold it. He was the largest share holder for Disney. Another thing I have learned from research was that Steve was a college dropout. After 6 months he dropped out and stayed dropping in on other creative classes. His favorite class was calligraphy. I would of never guessed Steve dropped out.

There were 2 major reasons why I found this blog research project challenging. One reason was the research. I found it challenging to find certain things because there wasn't enough information out there for use. We were limited on websites and pictures. Another thing was the time frame. The time frame to complete a post was pretty short. It would of been easier if we had a little more time to research.

I got 2 different things out of this blog that I thought were rewarding. One was how I have gained more knowledge about Apple and its technology. And I've learned a little bit more about my idol Steve jobs. Every time I did research I learned something new weather it was about Steve or Apple. From when Steve was born and the adoption. To his death from pancreatic cancer in 2011. And everything in between.

I had fun doing this blog and learned a lot from this. I learned some things and ran into challenges along the way. But most of all I had a blast doing this and got to know Steve on a personal level.
