I've thought about the presentation and decided to present it on a very special and important person. I shall do my presentation on Steve Paul Jobs, to us known just as Steve Jobs (former CEO of Apple).
Here is a timeline of Steve Jobs for the last 5 years:

2010 Jan. 27 Steve Jobs unveils iPad, the much-anticipated Apple tablet.
Steve has worked in Apple for many years: he started Apple, then he got fired and so he left and founded NeXt, then later Apple bought NeXt bringing Steve back to Apple.
'In 1986, he acquired the computer graphics division of Lucasfilm Ltd, which was spun off as Pixar Animation Studios. He was credited in Toy Story (1995) as an executive producer. He remained CEO and majority shareholder at 50.1 percent until its acquisition by The Walt Disney Company in 2006, making Jobs Disney's largest individual shareholder at seven percent and a member of Disney's Board of Directors. Apple's 1996 buyout of NeXT brought Jobs back to the company he co-founded, and he served as its interim CEO from 1997, then becoming permanent CEO from 2000, onwards, spearheading the advent of the iMac, iTunes, iPod, iPhone, and iPad.In buying NeXT, Apple also "acquired the operating system that became Mac OS X." From 2003, Jobs fought an eight-year battle with cancer,and eventually resigned as CEO in August 2011, while on his third medical leave. He was then elected chairman of Apple's board of directors.'
Steve has presented many of the gadgets which mostly everyone uses such as: the iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad and Macs. Steve's favourite was the iPhone. It was his main project and a device that he put all his heart and soul into. Steve went around showing people the iPhone, for example he showed the Russian President how to use the iPhone 4 in 2010.
Steve was friends with Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, even though they had a long rivalry.
Steve unfortunately died on 5th October 2010, he was only 56, but he suffered from pancreatic cancer and that brought his final blow.
We will all remember Steve as an visionary and a creative genius, as well as an amazing human being. He has helped bring up our technology to where it is today.
Have a look at my previous posts when Steve Jobs died, there is some information and thoughts about him.
Read this - a quote about him:
'Steve Jobs is undeniably an extraordinary man by any standard. He has left his mark on no less than five industries: personal computers with Apple II and Macintosh, music with iPod and iTunes, phone with iPhone, and animation with Pixar. The middle-class hippie kid with no college education that he was built a computer empire and became a multi-millionaire in a few years, was fired from his own company before coming back a decade later to save it and turn it into one of the world’s most influential corporations, with millions of fans around the world. He has also contributed to the creation of the new leader in animated movies for decades to come. He has been called a fluke for years, but is now widely acknowledged as one the world’s most eminent business executives and an unrivaled visionary. He has changed millions of lives by making technology easy-to-use, exciting and beautiful.… And you know what the best part is? He’s not done yet.'
I will do the presentation and put it up for you to see. The info above is short and I will of course add.
