Jeff Bezos: The Man Who Changed Shopping

This printout is a learning worksheet about Jeff Bezos: The Man Who Changed Shopping, made for students who want to learn about modern inventors and entrepreneurs. It tells the story of how Jeff Bezos grew up curious about how things worked and loved building and experimenting as a child. After studying computer science and electrical engineering at Princeton University, he worked in finance but dreamed of creating something new. In 1994, he started a small online bookstore in his garage — that bookstore became Amazon, one of the biggest companies in the world.

Jeff Bezos changed the way people shop by making it possible to buy almost anything online and have it delivered quickly. Under his leadership, Amazon grew from selling books to offering clothes, electronics, toys, and even groceries. He also started Amazon Web Services (AWS), which helps other companies use cloud computing, and launched Blue Origin, a space company that designs rockets to make space travel more affordable. His ideas showed how technology and creativity can make life easier for millions of people.

The worksheet includes reading questions to check understanding and a “What we can learn” section that shares lessons from Jeff’s journey. It encourages students to be curious, take smart risks, and keep working toward their goals. This printout is both educational and inspiring, showing how one person’s big idea can change the way the whole world shops and connects.
