"In 50 years will you remember Steve Jobs? According to Malcolm Gladwell, author of "The Tipping Point," no one will. In a recent talk at the Toronto Public Library's Appel Salon, Gladwell said that Jobs, the late Apple co-founder, will likely be forgotten for his contributions to the technology industry. The author suggests that entrepreneurs, like Jobs, aren't worth being idolized. Gladwell does, however, think that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates will be remembered, but for his philanthropy not entrepreneurship." - LANjackal

I really don't like Gladwell. - Stephen Mack

My guess is neither will be remembered. - Todd Hoff

I'm guessing he'll be forgotten the same way Edison was. He'll always be a figure of conversation, and it is difficult to genuinely discuss the early careers of either without the other, especially when you're talking the business side of what they did. - Jennifer Dittrich

I guess it depends on your definition of remembering. We remember Ford and other early titans of industry, I don't see how some segment of the population will not remember both. Jobs for the first apple computers and Gates for Windows and his philanthropy. - Dario Gomez

Gates also shock his pants for Jerry Seinfeld.... - Johnny

Also "The author suggests that entrepreneurs, like Jobs, aren't worth being idolized."...... Edison, bitch - Johnny
