Does this article really compare a guy who created incremental searching of YouTube videos to Steve Jobs who brought personal computers (and computer style) to the masses? Bubble Boys is an accurate title.
Let's agree Woz brought computers to the masses while Jobs insisted on making them pretty enough the masses would buy them. ;-)
Actually, there is a whole lot of people who exerted a huge influence in the early personal computer explosion. Jobs and Woz often suck up all the credit the folks at Atari and Commodore also deserve.
I'll agree that Woz was able to simplify the Apple I so that it was affordable but it was Jobs who was able to market it to the masses. Like any substantial venture it was more than the work of two people. I argument is that the article about the "next Jobs" didn't demonstrate founders with the same level of breakthrough technology or market that Apple created.
I completely agree with you about the article. I was just pointing out Jobs and Woz, as brilliant as they are in their respective fields, were not the only ones responsible for the explosion of personal computing that happened in the late 70's and early 80's.
