Edison nor Tesla discovered electricity. They were not the first people to conduct electricity. They were the most influential in making electricity useful and accessible to everyone.

No Steve Jobs did not invent the idea of the personal computer, the graphical user interface, or the mouse.

But he did invent the Macintosh. The Macintosh was very different from any other PC at the time. Electricity changed the world of the 19th century.

The Macintosh didn't change the world. If it wasn't developed, the modern age of electronics may have taken a different course, but would be essentially the same. . If you tried to equate electricity and the Mac 100 years from now, it would be ridiculous.

The two things most responsible for our modern age, not just computers, but just about everything are this leading to this.

How did George Eastman get into this? He's closer to Steve Jobs, but neither of them are in the same ballpark as Edison.
