Steve Jobs was the former CEO of Apple Computer Company. He was born in California, the USA，on 24 February 1955. He was tall and thin. He liked wearing a black sweater, jeans and trainers. He is the person who has influenced me most. In 1976, he and his friends set up Apple Computer Company. Steve Jobs was smart and good at thinking. He kept trying out new ideas and never gave up easily. What he designed and created has greatly changed the way people work and live. Unluckily, he died of cancer at the age of 56. I think people will remember him for his great achievements.
