Akio Morita is as close as I've seen to a Steve Jobs in my lifetime - I was into his work in the 80s thanks to the Walkman, but that was the last big notch on his belt that he'd been working on since just after WWII. Even if you think about a Nolan Bushnell -- he did some amazing work, but he did have the hit after hit that Jobs did. My guess is that like a moon landing I'll be lucky to see that again before I die. PS For those of you who don't know about Mr. Morita and the story of Sony I recommend the book "Made in Japan" which inspired me very much back in the 80s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_in_Japan_(biography) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_in_Japan_(biography) http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelpinto/sets/72157626821983693/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelpinto/sets/7215762682198...
