Sherman Foote Denton was an American naturalist, inventor, illustrator, and writer.
Denton was one of the best later natural history artists. He served as an artist for the Smithsonian Institution's U.S. Fish Commission and was commissioned by the Smithsonian Institution to create the book Game Fish of New York. And the annual reports of the Fish and Game of New York State for 1895-1909 featured 99 species of freshwater and marine fish, as well as a number of other items, including lobsters, oysters, ring-necked pheasant, and Virginian deer. These have been published in both book and folio form. Denton also developed a method of mounting fish that preserved their lifetime color.
Along with his brothers Shelley Wright and Robert Winsford, Denton founded the Denton Brothers Butterflies Company, which sold butterfly specimens. Sherman invented and patented in 1901 the mounting of scale specimens on a white plaster tablet under glass instead of the traditional mounting.
Steve Jobs, full name Steven Paul Jobs, birth name Abdul Latif Jandali, is an American entrepreneur, inventor and industrial designer who pioneered the information technology era.
Jobs grew up in foster care, took a job at Atari Corporation as a video game designer in early 1974, then traveled to India, comprehending Zen Buddhism. At the same time, Jobs met former classmate Steven Wozniak (b. 1950), and together they developed one of the first personal computers and in 1976 founded Apple, which was the beginning of the personal computer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s.
In 1985, Jobs left Apple and founded NeXT, a company that developed a computer platform for universities and businesses. By 1997, Jobs had regained control of Apple by leading the corporation. Under his leadership, the company was saved from bankruptcy and began turning a profit a year later. Over the next decade, Jobs oversaw the development of the iMac, iTunes, iPod, iPhone, and iPad, as well as the development of the Apple Store, iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore. In 2011, Apple was recognized as the world's most valuable publicly traded company.
Steve Jobs passed away after a long illness at the age of 56. In July 2022, Jobs was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest U.S. civilian honor, for his invaluable contributions to the music, film, and computer industries.
