When Steve Jobs resigned last week I saw a slide show about his career and I was thinking “he is probably going to make to history books”. During my time at school history books were made of people in politics, revolutions, wars and ancient tribes. And the revolutionaries that made us change the way to see things (e.g. scientists) you learnt about in the science classes.
I then start to wonder were the technology revolutionaries fit in. Maybe a new subject will emerge, “the history of technology”, if not as a subject on its own then at least a module in history or computer classes. Because even though people like Steven Jobs and Bill Gates didn’t fight physically they definitely revolutionised the way we live today.
