The adopted genius who invented the iMac

On this day, May 6, 1998 Steve Jobs unveiled the first iMac.

Jobs, who was born in San Francisco in 1955, was adopted shortly after his birth. He was co-founder of Apple Inc. with Steve Wozniak.

He pioneered the personal computer revolution in the 1970s and '80s.

He left college in his first year and in 1974 travelled through India and later studied Zen Buddhism.

Steve Jobs died in 2011.
