10. The Future I imagine that in many years from now, children will be studying Steve Jobs in history like we study today, Martin Luther King Jr., George Washington, George Washington Carver, and many others. Without them we wouldn’t be the same people if it wasn’t for them. Without Steve Jobs we wouldn’t have the outstanding technology we have today.
