The previous sale of the document was in March 2021 for $222,400.<\/p>\n<p>In 1973, Steve Jobs filled out the questionnaire hoping to find work after dropping out of Reed College. He stated his field of study as \u201cEnglish literature,\u201d and noted among his abilities and interests electronics technology and design.<\/p>\n<p>A year later Jobs joined Atari as a technician. There he met Steve Wozniak, with whom he co-founded Apple in 1976.<\/p>\n<p>Auction organizer Ollie Joshi simultaneously put up for sale both the paper and digital versions of the document to draw attention to the &#8216;shift in the perception of value&#8217; in light of the NFT phenomenon.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the proceeds will go to the Institute for Cancer Research and the One Laplop Per Child organization, which works on education issues for children in poor countries.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, on June 30, an unknown buyer purchased the NFT containing the Internet&#8217;s source code <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/internet-source-code-sold-as-nft-for-5-4-million\">for $5.4 million<\/a>.
