In the world of crime and forensics, a situation arises where a witness will come forward to give evidence. In some situations a witness could have known the suspect or could have seen the suspect. In situations like this forensic experts will have an artist and the witness come together to draw the suspect.

The speech was as follows:

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life… Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” -Stanford commencement speech, 2005

Steve Jobs is revolutionist who invented devices that changed the way people see the world. He will live in our memories through his inventions.

Looking back at the life of Steve Jobs, the Co-Founder and former CEO of Apple is an inspiration to everyone. Born to a Syrian Muslim father Abdulfattah John Jandali and Joanne Schieble a Graduate Student. He was later given for adoption and was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs.

He attended Cupertino Junior School and Homstead High School in California. After graduating from High School, Steve enrolled himself at Reed College. At Reed College he lasted only for one semester before he dropped out. All his parents earnings were spent on his college which was one of the reasons why he dropped out of College. During this period he went through hardships to live his daily life, sleeping on the floor of his friends room, returning coke bottles for food and money. This didn’t stop him, he joined a Calligraphy class which helped him create different typefaces for the Mac. In 1974 he joined a Video Game manufacturing company called Atari.

In 1976 Apple was born but incorporated as a company in April, 1977.  Steve Jobs together with Steve Wozniak who became the Co-Founders of Apple released Apple I. This was the beginning following which several other products were released and the company faced rocky sales. In 1985, Steve Jobs was fired from the company he co-founded. Steve mentions this his speech which he delivered at the Stanford University Graduation.  During this period he never gave up, he formed 2 companies one which is known as Pixar (Now owned by Disney) and NeXT (Apple bought this company). Since Apple bought over NeXT, Steve rejoined Apple in 1996 and was reinstated as the CEO.

In 2001 the first iPod was launched. Apple became a successful leader in consumer electronics. Since the beginning, Apple launched several succssful products such as the iPhone and the iPad. Several versions of the iPod, iPhone and the iPad were launched since then.

In 2004 Steve Jobs was diagnosed with a tumor in his pancreas. In the same year Job underwent a procedure to remove the tumor. Several developments to his health condition took a turn to the worse. In 2009 he got a liver transplant during which for a year half he was on leave from managing Apple.  He returned to Apple in 2011 but had to go on a Medical leave to focus on his health. Even during his Medical Leave he made surprise appearance at the launch of Apple iPad 2 (2nd generation of the iPad).

Steve always said that he would leave if he is not in a position to meet his duties and in August, 2011 he resigned from Apple but continued to remain as a Chairman.

It came as a shock to the world, on the 5th of October Apple announced the death of Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs was a revolutionist and changed the way people think about technology. Severable notable people such as President Barack Obama, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg issued statement of condolences.

Steve Jobs is one of the few who has left a mark in the history amongst great inventors such as Thomas Edison.
