Apple Inc. announced tonight that company co-founder and former Chief Executive Steve Jobs has died at the age of 56. Here is a look back at his career. He was the father of the iPhone, the iPod and the Apple Mac computers turning ____________________ gadgets into objects of desire. I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful. As he was fond of saying, Wait, theres more! Today Apple is going to ____________________ the phone. And people did wait in long lines for the first iPhones in 2007. Then three years later they lined up for the iPad changing the way people consume media. Design plus function ____________________ the right life style and thats what he felt. In 1976 Jobs co-founded Apple Computer and within a few years was worth one hundred million dollars. In 1984 he was showing off his new ____________________ and joy, the Macintosh. And this has turned out insanely great. As critics hailed the Mac, Jobs was on the losing end of a ____________________ struggle at his company and left Apple a year later. He went into computer animation acquiring Pixar Studios and striking failure with a ____________________ of hit movies starting with Toy Story To infinity and beyond! Jobs came back to Apple in 1996 and began reinventing the Mac dressing it up in a variety of colours. They look so good you kinda wanna lick them. Concerns about the health of Steve Jobs began in 2004 when he underwent ____________________ for pancreatic cancer. A year later he spoke about that during a commencement at Stanford University. This was the closest Ive been to facing death and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. An ____________________ private man with a quick temper kept reporters at bay saying his health was nobodys business. But Jobs was losing weight, something revealed in these photos taken in 2007 and 2008. In April 2009 he underwent a liver ____________________. Five months later back on the job at Apple he expressed his gratitude. I now have the liver of a mid-twenties person who died in a car crash and was generous enough to donate his organs. And I wouldnt be here without such____________________. On August 24th of this year he stepped down as Apples CEO. Back in 2005 he offered this bit of advice to the Stanford University grads Your time is ____________________ so dont waste it living someone elses life.
