TAKEAWAYS

2. Steve Jobs was instrumental in the changing and shaping of not only phones and computers, but also of the animated movie industry, digital publishing, and the retail sector with digital apps for content sales.
3. Steve Jobs was not solely invested into Apple's success, and he in fact became a billionaire overnight through his investment in Pixar, and not through Apple's success.
