He was the cofounder , chairman , and chief executive officer of Apple Inc . CEO and majority shareholder of Pixar a member of The Walt Disney Company ' s board of directors following its acquisition of Pixar and founder , chairman , and CEO of NeXT . Jobs is widely recognized as a pioneer of the microcomputer revolution of the 1970 s and 1980 s , along with Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak . Shortly after his death , Jobs ' s official biographer , Walter Isaacson , described him as a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries personal computers , animated movies , music , phones , tablet computing , and digital publishing . Jobs ' s countercultural lifestyle and philosophy was a product of the time and place of his upbringing . Jobs was adopted at birth in San Francisco , and raised in a hotbed of counterculture , the San Francisco Bay Area during the 1960 s . As a senior at Homestead High School in Cupertino , California , his two closest friends were the older engineering studentWozniak and his girlfriend , the artistically inclined and countercultural Homestead High junior Chrisann Brennan . Jobs and Wozniak bonded over their mutual fascination with Jobs ' s musical idol Bob Dylan , discussing his lyrics and collecting bootleg reeltoreel tapes of Dylan ' s concerts . Jobs later dated Joan Baez who notably had a prior relationship with Dylan . Jobs briefly attended Reed College in 1972 before dropping out . He then decided to travel through India in 1974 seeking enlightenment and studying Zen Buddhism . Jobs ' s declassified FBI report says an acquaintance knew that Jobs used illegal drugs in college including marijuana and LSD . Jobs told a reporter once that taking LSD was one of the two or three most important things he did in his life . Jobs cofounded Apple in 1976 to sell Wozniak ' s Apple I personal computer . The duo gained fame and wealth a year later for the Apple II , one of the first highly successful massproduced personal computers . In 1979 , after a tour of PARC , Jobs saw the commercial potential of the Xerox Alto , which was mousedriven and had a graphical user interface . This led to development of the unsuccessful Apple Lisa in 1983 , followed by the breakthrough Macintosh in 1984 . In addition to being the first massproduced computer with a GUI , the Macintosh instigated the sudden rise of the desktop publishing industry in 1985 with the addition of the Apple LaserWriter , the first laser printer to feature vector graphics . Following a long power struggle , Jobs was forced out of Apple in 1985 . After leaving Apple , Jobs took a few of its members with him to found NeXT , a computer platform development company specializing in stateoftheart computers for highereducation and business markets . In addition , Jobs helped to initiate the development of the visual effects industry when he funded the spinout of the computer graphics division of George Lucas ' s Lucasfilm in 1986 . The new company , Pixar , would eventually produce the first fully computeranimated film , Toy Storyan event made possible in part because of Jobs ' s financial support .
