10 Visionaries of the 90’s
By Hal Hart
Last year a well-known web feed (to be revealed on Friday) picked “10 Visionaries” of the 90’s, people whose ideas have had a profound impact on computing with influence sure to drive the industry well into the next century. Included are CEOs, engineers, and programmers — all of whom have changed the world. Over the next 3 days WOW will count them Feel free to make your own guesses or make bets with your colleagues. Just remember, this is just like Trivial Pursuit: the correct answers are what the authors say they are. Here are the first 3:
- 10 Linus Torvald: Linux and the open-source movement, he started as a 21-year-old student.
- 9 Jeff Hawkins and Donna Dublinsky: Founders of Palm Computing — they know smaller is better.
- 8 James Gosling and Bill Joy: Inventor and chief proslytizer of Java (on top of everything they did earlier).
