Steve Jobs will be forgotten in 50 years
- keithpeter 14y agoIn the UK in large cities, you will come across Carnegie clinics with foundation stones mentioning Andrew Carnegie. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Carnegie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Carnegie Those clinics formed a basic health service for poor people before the NHS came into being. The Carnegie Trust is still there, http://carnegieuktrust.org.uk/who-we-are http://carnegieuktrust.org.uk/who-we-are but I admit Andrew Carnegie may no longer be a household name. I suspect Jobs will not be a household name in 2062, but that anyone who looks into the 'wild west era' of personal computers will find out plenty, as will anyone who visits a museum.
- jpluscplusm 14y agoAndrew Carnegie's actions saved lives. Steve Jobs sold shiny tat. You're right - he'll be in some museums; increasingly few over the years, inevitably tending towards one: "The iLearn Institute of Advanced Sycophancy".
- sbuk 14y agoThis, whatever you think of Jobs, is trolling and has no place here.
