Looking backward, at who the last Steve Jobs' were, the common names I've seen include Disney, Ford, Einstein, Edison. A few names spread out over a long period of history.
A few industries are lucky to get one, but so far no industry getting two. All at the beginning, bringing their industry forward further and faster than it would have come without them.
The next Steve is more likely a 10 year old boy or girl than someone working today. And they'll bring us nanotechnology or something we can't even guess.
(What about Bill Gates? Brilliant but different, more like Rockefeller where it was very smart business sense. Apple has recently gotten far better at capitalizing on what they did first and not letting it be Microsoft that brings their ideas to the masses. Though Apple getting better kinda coincides with Bill retiring from Microsoft. Hmm.)
