He was the chair of General Electric for decades. He was one of the most prominent businessmen of the 20th century. People in corporate management still use his techniques and ideas.
20 years might be pushing it, but he’d be gone 34ish years by that point. He wasn’t much of a philanthropist. Is there any Steve Jobs Parks? Plazas? His early death didn’t lend him much time to create a legacy. He’ll be known in business and tech scenes, sure, but the pop culture knowledge of him will be negligible. Does the general public know about the CEO of IBM 35+ years ago? The current crop of CEOs are like WWE wrestlers in their persona compared to Jobs. Being present for the smartphone revolution was something, but does anyone remember the CEO of the company that introduced the laptop? Jobs wasn’t a Carnegie or Rockefeller.
Jobs wasn’t ignorant of his situation. He had the best doctors in the world telling him exactly what he needed to do . He decided to ignore them because he thought he was right and they were wrong.
Steve Jobs killed himself. The gun was his hubris and the trigger was the universe telling him no.
And that’s why he’s 75 and happy and Jobs is dead and no one will know his name in 20 years.
I’m not a fan of Jobs but that’s quite a claim. No one will remember one of the most successful CEOs of all time in 2 decades?
Wozniak will leave the public consciousness way sooner than Jobs. Outside of tech circles, pretty much nobody knows who he is now.
Sad, unfair, infuriating, but probably true.
People still talk about Jack Welsh’s impact on business culture and he retired in 2001.
No idea who that is
He’s the reason every big company does mass layoffs to boost stock prices every other quarter
All my homies hate Jack Welch. Glad he’s dead.

Idk, Steve Jobs has like at least 2 movies about him. Pretty sure his name will last considerably longer than 20 years on that alone.
Yup, being a CEO is the number one leading cause of pancreatic cancer…
Nope but being an idiot and treating it with a fruit diet is certainly a factor.
😆 that’ll do you in for sure indeed
You’re right. Ignorance got Jobs. Stress doesn’t help though.
