In 50 years, Steve Jobs will be forgotten, Gladwell says

Take a quick look at this list (sort by profession) -- In 1962, only four businessmen were influential enough to even make this list, and I recognize only one -- E. F. Hutton, and only because of commercials as a child of the financial corporation named after him.

That said, we still remember Walt Disney, and Jobs is the first business leader to capture the country's imagination since him, as far as I can tell.

I think the difference for Jobs is that he doesn't have a company named after him.
