This blog post will be all about Steve jobs' life achievements and accomplishments. It was very hard to pick the top five in my eyes because he has so many different creations and achievements he's reached.

Achievement#5: Stanford university speech

I feel that this speech made my top 5 because it was a very strong and moving speech. He talked about his life and how he was a college dropout. His first story of 3 was about connecting the dots of life. He made references to his biological parents and his adoptive parents. His second story was about love and loss. He talked to them about how apple got started and how him and Woz met. His last story was about death. He told them about his cancer and how he had 3-6 months to live.

Achievement#4: iPod/iPhone

I think the iPod and iPhone should be a tie at #4 because they have changed the world on how people look at electronics. The iPod came out on october 23, 2001 and changed how people listen to music. At first many people questioned the iPod because of the 400 dollar price tag but came to find out that is was a very impressive device. And everyone wanted one. I never had an iPod. The iPhone was announced in January of 2007. The iPhone was the first Internet, multimedia smartphone available on the market. The first iPhone was priced anywhere from $399-$599 depending on the size.

Achievement#3: Pixar

I feel like Pixar was a huge factor in jobs' life because it changed his work ethic when he owned Pixar. With big hits like Toy Story. Jobs acquired Pixar in 1994. Then he ended up selling it to Walt Disney for 7.4 billion dollars in 2006. They made big hits like A Bugs Life, Toy Story 2, Finding Nemo and many others.

Achievement#2: Macintosh

The Macintosh came out on January 24, 1984. Most people liked this computer because it was the most affordable at that time. It was the first computer with GUI. The computer was fast and it was reliable. I've never used the computer so I can't really put my thoughts on it. But most people like it.

Achievement#1: The Apple 1

Steve jobs greatest accomplishment of all to me was his first computer Apple 1. It was introduced in march of 1976. It came out in July. It was $666.66. But you had to supply the monitor, keyboard and mouse. To me that is an amazing accomplishment because it was the start of his career and its what gave him his name.
