Tech leaders from this era will not be remembered well.

There's not much good to remember them by for the past decade they have been implementing a global panopticon system etc.

At least in the 1990s and 2000s it felt they were doing some good stuff for humanity. But the 2010s and 2020s the masked pretty much slipped.

I think you underestimate what the human attention span has become.

I wonder which spectrum Steve Jobs would be on if he was still alive to this day.

		Hate him or not, Steve Jobs understood humans. He spoke and behaved as a human. He was flawed and may be considered "cringey" now, but I think he'd be liked better than the rest.

That is a bold prediction

		It doesn't seem like a stretch. I don't know what you mean. (You may disagree with the opinion of course, but "bold" is a counterintuitive adjective here)

		No it is not.

There's two opposing forces at work. Everyone wants to be Steve Jobs, and no one wants to be Steve Ballmer. So the only choice is to go to the extreme to stay as far away from the other end as possible.

		I'd take Steve Ballmer over most of the current big-tech CEOs, to be honest.
