I don’t want to put my historian’s hat on as the weight hurts my injured back. So I will submit that folks such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, the former president of Intel (I forget his name) and other folks involved in the personal computer revolution have created the biggest short term favorable impact to the world in recorded history. Prior to the PC the US was heading the way of the USSR: more folks than we can care for, and not enough money to go around. The computer revolution has made by far the biggest impact since perhaps the invention of movable type.
