10 Visionaries of the 90’s - the Countdown continues...
By Hal Hart
Issue 0 (p.4) started one webfeed’s countdown of the 90’s Top 10 influence makers. Here’s 5 - 7:
- 7 Steve Jobs: The comeback kid. The amazing thing is not that he revolutionized computing in the 80’s, but that he did it again in the 90’s! Apple still makes the most user-friendly computers the world has ever seen.
- 6 Jeff Bezos: Mr. e-commerce, the electronic salesman. Founder and CEO of Amazon.com. Neither recent bad press or red ink can diminish the lasting impact of the push he gave e-commerce at the key time.
- 5 John Doerr: The moneyman. “Johnny Appleseed of Silcon Valley,” venture capitalist who backed Netscape, Compaq, Symantec, Pixar, Intuit, Sun & others. Also called the “Anti-Gates” — would there be any other powerhouses without him? Get your bets down now on who the Top 4 are going to be (in Thurs. & Friday WOWs).
