In 1983, Jobs resigned from Apple as a CEO to begin a new hardware and software company called Next Inc.

The following year, he bought an animation company which later became Pixar Animation Studios.

There, he created Oscar -winning movies such as Toy Story and Finding Nemo.

Apple bought the same company in 1997 for $429 million.

The same year, Jobs returned to his former company as a CEO.

Jobs made Apple very successful with his cutting -edge products such as the iMac, MacBook Air, iPod and iPhone.

And in 2008, iTunes became the second biggest music retailer in America.

When Jobs died of cancer, he was 58.

Not only Apple, but the whole digital world lost a visionary and creative genius.
