#4. Steve Jobs

The photo on the left is Mr. Steve Jobs is a middle school electronics class and the snapshot on the left is from a few years later. You gotta ask yourself is that teacher on the left had any idea that his student would transform the entire world.

Jobs grew up in Mountain View and Los Altos, California, right smack dab in the middle of what we now call Silicon Valley. Jobs loved electronics from a young age and spent most of his time tinkering with devices and befriending neighborhood engineers to talk shop. The rest, as they say, is history.
