I can't think of another person this past century who would match Steve Jobs's vision. He was one of those rare persons with an ability to identify opportunities. But you also have to remember that Steve was no engineer. He was the visionary and surrounded himself with those who would buy into his vision and deliver. It all started with Steve and Woz, then grew from there.
Most people forget that Steve was an aesthetic, learnt calligraphy and spent time in communes in India. He was the primary customer for every new Apple product. That is, he was scratching his own itch. He was infamous for calling work in progress SH*T which enticed staff to stretch their abilities and accomplish the impossible.
- user_named 4y agoYou're just repeating the myth of Steve Jobs. Taking a course in calligraphy doesn't mean anything.
- ThePowerOfFuet 4y agoInteresting how you focus on the one single detail which doesn't immediately contribute to the point being made.
- anonymouskimmer 4y agoBuckminster Fuller was both inventor and visionary. Which is probably a big reason his visions weren't fulfilling to the broader society. What about Walt Disney?

He also never used to play games. He would greenlight games by having an employee play the game in front of him. Somehow he had a keen eye for game quality, since the Nintendo Seal of Quality was a big factor in the resurgence of the home console. He was also a difficult person to deal with.
