In the UK in large cities, you will come across Carnegie clinics with foundation stones mentioning Andrew Carnegie.

Those clinics formed a basic health service for poor people before the NHS came into being. The Carnegie Trust is still there,

but I admit Andrew Carnegie may no longer be a household name.

I suspect Jobs will not be a household name in 2062, but that anyone who looks into the 'wild west era' of personal computers will find out plenty, as will anyone who visits a museum.

Andrew Carnegie's actions saved lives. Steve Jobs sold shiny tat.

You're right - he'll be in some museums; increasingly few over the years, inevitably tending towards one: "The iLearn Institute of Advanced Sycophancy".

This, whatever you think of Jobs, is trolling and has no place here.

Even sooner than that. If you aren't in the textbooks, then you are history.
