Part 4 The Brightest Heaven of InventionThe saga of Steve Jobs is the Silicon Valley creation myth writ large:launching a startup in his parents，garage and building it into the world's most valuable company.He didn't invent many things outright,but he was a master at putting together ideas, art, and technology in ways that invented the future.He designed the Mac after appreciating the power of graphical interfaces in a way that Xerox was unable to do,and he created the iPod after grasping the joy of having a thousand songs in your pocketin a way that Sony, which had all the assets and heritage, never could accomplish.Some leaders push innovations by being good at the big picture.Others do so by mastering details.Jobs did both, relentlessly. As a result he launched a series of products over three decades that transformed whole industries:The Apple II，which took Wozniak's circuit board and turned it into the first personal computer that was not just for hobbyists.The Macintosh, which begat the home computer revolution and popularized graphical use rinter faces.Toy Story and other Pixar blockbusters, which opened up the miracle of digital imagination.Apple stores, which reinvented the role of a store in defining a brand.The iPod, which changed the way we consume music.The iTunes Store, which saved the music industry.
