Three Greatest ICT Inventors

Cite 3 ICT inventors you like most. Explain why. 

1. Steve Jobs

I like Steve Jobs because he is one of the greatest contributors to the computing eon. He invented the first Apples (Apple I and II), the expensive iPods, the high-end iPhones, the iPads, Mac OS X and the Pixar. These things were brought to the world by this man who has the greatest gift of his uncanny ability to not only see the future but also to marry innovation with commercial success. Steve Jobs is focusing on reliable use and matching a device to consumers' desire. That is why, he is successful in his ventures of innovating what we have.

2. Mark Zuckerberg

I also admire Mark Zuckerberg. He was a college Drop out of Harvard University but he is currently in the 7^th position of wealthiest man in the world according to Forbes with $40.4 Billion net worth. He invented the very famous social networking, facebook. Facebook has given free basic Internet services to more than a billion people in 17 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Most especially, I like him because Zuckerberg has used his millions to fund a variety of philanthropic causes. The most notable examples came in 2010. In September of that year, he donated $100 million to save the failing Newark Public Schools system in New Jersey. Then, in December 2010, Zuckerberg signed the "Giving Pledge", promising to donate at least 50 percent of his wealth to charity over the course of his lifetime. Other Giving Pledge members include Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and George Lucas. After his donation, Zuckerberg called on other young, wealthy entrepreneurs to follow suit. Mark Zuckerberg is very kind that’s why I admire him.

3. Bill Gates

Lastly, I like Bill Gates. He is the chairman of Microsoft Corporation, the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential. Under Gates' leadership, Microsoft's mission has been to continually advance and improve software technology, and to make it easier, more cost-effective and more enjoyable for people to use computers. The company is committed to a long-term view, reflected in its industry-leading investment in research and development each year. Gates has donated the proceeds of both books to non-profit organizations that support the use of technology in education and skills development. In addition to his love of computers and software, Gates founded Corbis, which is developing one of the world's largest resources of visual information - a comprehensive digital archive of art and photography from public and private collections around the globe. Philanthropy is very important to Gates. He and his wife, Melinda, started a foundation in 2000 to help reduce inequities in the United States and around the world. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation supports philanthropic initiatives in the areas of global health and learning, with the hope that in the 21st century, advances in these critical areas will be available for all people.
