The name of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has been added to a Time magazine list of “trailblazers, visionaries and cultural ambassadors” that includes Albert Einstein, George Washington, and Alexander Graham Bell.
Jobs was named as one of the 20 most influential Americans of all time by Time magazine.
Its list, a chronological listing of “the trailblazers, visionaries and cultural ambassadors who defined a nation,” refers to Jobs as the “high priest of the digital age.”
Time said Jobs was a visionary whose great genius was for design: “He pushed and pushed to make the interface between computers and people elegant, simple and delightful. He always claimed his goal was to create products that were ‘insanely great’.
