Entrepreneurs Who’ve Changed Our Lives

By on March 20, 2012 in News


Here is a list of entrepreneurs from iOL Scitech who have changed the way we live today.

Mark Zuckerberg

Facebook; £11bn

Facebook connected 500 million people across the world and inspired a Hollywood film along the way – as well as generating £11bn for its founder – not bad for a college drop-out.

At 27, Mark Zuckerberg is the second-youngest billionaire in the world.

Howard Schultz

Starbucks; £1.5bn

From humble beginnings selling pots and pans, Brooklyn-born Howard Schultz’s notion that coffee should be an experience rather than just a drink revolutionised consumption of the drink across the world.

Daniel Abraham

Slim-fast!; £1bn

As the inventor of this easy form of dieting, the US army veteran from Long Island sold the idea of “a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch, and a sensible dinner” to the world.

    Angela i love your story, it is too bad that big high tech companies don’t realise this. What i mean by this, is they tend to only have interest in people with university degree in technologies. In my opinion physics steers minds down a very narrow path of education, what i mean by this is. The laws of physics teaches young minds, that certain things are impossible and that is the law. Whereas nothing is impossible, law of physics has been proven wrong before in some aspects. I have tried to offer extremely advanced technologies, well at least the seed that would prompt this to take place, to RIM (Research in Motion) makers of BLACK BERRY, but i see they would sooner lay 200 employees off “sheesh”. They are now in the midst of developing a new operation system(os) that is really”i believe” probably not much different then there previous one,and not much different,or the same as”relatively speaking” any other major smartphone (os). And that also goes for there smartphones and tablets,which shows absolutely no innovation or creativity. Sure it may take a well educated engineer, to transform the innovation or creative idea into a working product”that is the easy part” it is the innovation and creativity that is the magic in some cases, as you expressed Angela in this story. I want to thank-you for a wonderful story that you wrote Angela, letting people know anything is possible no matter how educated. Very best regards, Yours truly. FREELANCE ENGINEER…
