Sure Bill Gates made Microsoft but that was bound to happen someone had to do it Gates just happened to be the most famous and it wasn't like he was the only one either. These people didn't have any special powers or skills that allowed them to change the course of history because they never did, history could care less about them because it had already decided to change. technologies are created regardless of there being the right person, radium and polonium weren't going to stay hidden just because Marie never thought to look for them, relativity would have come about without Einstien. Things happen not because what one person decides to do but because there are so many working in the right direction that someone is bound to get it done. Of course you still need to try because if no one trys then nothing happens. The ting is though are these people really changing the world, I don’t think so.

When I lived in Cambridge I used to know people who were working at the school at the time who were directly involved in the "incident" which resulted in his "leave of absence". I suspect that is technically the correct term for it, but it was not a voluntary levae. Gates has done an amazing job of white washing the truth over the years, and I am sure once he had money in his pocket he "made it up" to Big Crimson to ensure they never played sour grapes. My concern is that you put a man who single-handedly destroyed something very beautiful in the world of early personal computing through his own greed and thus "changed the world" along side people like Ghandi, MLK and Einstein. It just seems like a very strange choice. Kevin, Unfortunately nothing I can cite in an official way.

Great post. I would just like to point out that it is irrelevant how the prople mentioned above came to make a difference and whether they are an exeption to the rule or not. One does not have to win a nobel prize or become famous or make a million to make a difference. Everybody can contribute in a small way by just talking to people, setting an example, asking the right questions or having a blog (like this one). If you care about the world and about how society developes, all of these options are better than doing nothing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FldsUGZBX_A Hello. Great post.
