The tech guru - I got to decide!

Yesterday, I was watching a video on World's Most Powerful person in the world. So I thought why not let me decide who's the actual tech guru of all time. I'll firstly list three most eminent personalities as the nominees : Steve Jobs (Apple Inc), Bill Gates (Microsoft Inc) and Larry Page and Sergey Brin (Google Inc). So I'll describe their achievements one by one and will discuss why they should be the tech guru of all times.

Starting with Bill Gates, born in Oct, 1955 is the chairman of Microsoft. I won't go much in detail which one could find anywhere, but would go straight to the point where he established Microsoft. It was the launch of Intel 8080 micorprocessor, which was the cheapest microprocessor in market which could run BASIC to be used for a PC. So at that moment he founded Microsoft with Paul Allen. Second faming moment was when they cracked a deal with IBM and delivered them the PC-DOS (which was a customised Q-DOS) and retained the rights of later known as MS-DOS. These two things laid the base for the software giant Microsoft, which is today known for its Windows operating system, whose base was obviously DOS.

Next we have Steve Jobs, chairman of Apple Inc (formerly known as Apple Computers) though has not been dedicated to one company throughout his whole life, but has been really successful. His ideas has changed the world. Apple was one of the companies that brought in the idea of commercial mouse-driven UIs. I have also always been a fan of Apple's designs and GUIs for example its Leapord's and iphone's UI. When Steve Jobs had to leave Apple Computers, he acquired and expanded Pixar Animation Studios. Later he joined back Apple as the CEO, he has never looked back since then. His works has always shown enormous creativity and forward thinking approach whether it may be Apple's Mac OS X, iPhone or Pixar's Finding Nemo, Cars, Monsters Inc, Incredibles.

Then we have Larry Page and Sergey Brin founders of Google Inc the search engine giant which revolutionised the internet. The Google's story is very famous and known to everyone, I won't discuss all the things here. The PhD scholars started the search engine(code named Backrub) as their PhD project, and tried to sell it to a few companies, disheartened started their own company. And finally they were lucky enough to get enough funds to run their business successfully. What I like bout the company is their new approach to solve problems by providing very friendly environment to the employees and their 20% projects to bring out the innovation.

So finally is the decision time, so what do you think should be crowned the tech guru of all times. Well I guess the tech guru position can not be assigned straight forward. Rather I would say that we can divide it in two parts: the Innovator and the Developers. The Innovator should be Steve Jobs, who through his creativity, innovation and forward thinking, has changed the world and will keep on doing in the years to come. Then we have the developers Guru who should be Larry Page and Sergey Brin or being the central attraction for the developers world wide and for providing such a platform for them.

Also last but not the least Bill Gates, the chairman of Microsoft is not among the tech guru but for me he's the biggest of the Entrepreneur in the software world. making such good decisions in the whole life has made him the richest man for over a decade. He has helped bring out PC with its Windows which still runs on more than half of the world's personal computers and has also provided many large software products for people of every domain.
