Steve Jobs did not Change the World, but Bill Gates Might. A great deal has been written this week about the sad death of Steve Jobs at the age of 56. There is no doubt about it, he was a remarkable man who had a huge impact on the electronics industry.
From the Apple 2 home computer, through the original Mac and up to the iPod, iPhone and iPad, Jobs pioneered technological innovation that was beautiful to look at, easy to use and very functional. It often took years for the Windows world to catch up with stuff that the Macintosh could do straight out of the box. Perhaps the most obvious demonstration of the quality of Apple products was the sheer devotion which they attracted among their users.
I can’t think offhand of any other organisation where a video of the CEO announcing a new product launch would attract as much attention as Jobs’ presentation of the latest iPhone/Pad/Pod. But did he change the world? So what about Bill Gates? But there is one way in which Gates might truly change the world; he is giving his money away. Wikiquote.
