Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs did something very few people actually accomplish, he changed the world. The founder of Apple, Jobs brought the iPod, iPhone, iPad and Mac into the lexicon. He also helped shepherd Pixar and made the unveiling of a product into an event. He cast such a long shadow that, when he died in October at the age of 56, many questioned if the company he led could survive without him. The fact that so many people learned of his passing on devices he helped create may answer that question better than anything else can.
