Can you tell me, off-the-cuff, the names of the “innovators,” i.e., the first developers, of the personal computer, the PC operating system, the linking site, the big-box general store, or the cell phone? No? I can’t either.
Do you recognize the names of Michael Dell, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Walton, and Steve Jobs? They built iconic companies and became fabulously wealthy.
