Through his life, he was loved, hated, admired, and dismissed, yet he was a living legend; the genius who founded Apple in his parent's garage when he was just 21 years old, revolutionising the music world. He single-handedly introduced the first computer that could sit on your desk and founded and nurtured a company called Pixar, bringing to life Oscar-winning animations \u003ci\u003eToy Story\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFinding Nemo\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo how did the man—who was neither engineer nor computer geek—change the world we live in, making us want every product he touched?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn graduation day in 2005, a fifty-year-old Steve Jobs said: \"Today I want to tell you three stories from my life.
