![Who is Steve Jobs? 20% of Britain Don't Know! [UK Survey Reveals Steve Jobs May Be Involved With a Trade Union, Bill Gates is a Comedian]](http://tftscdn2.nexus404.com/Blog/thumbnailimages/alt/who-is-steve-jobsTFTSThumb220153.jpg)
I wouldn’t like to insult our regular readers of TFTS but for those out of the know who are wondering who is Steve Jobs, you guys should know that he’s the co-founder and chief executive officer of Apple. What’s up with that you may ask? Well after reading a report that two in ten people in Britain don’t know who the guy is, we decided to shed some light for those who’re trying to find out.
A recent small survey carried out last month in London by Lewis PR revealed that only 200 out of a thousand people in knew who Steve Jobs is. Proving just how interested is the UK in the IT sector or signaling a major image problem, 10-percent of those questioned think that Steve Jobs may be working for a trade union, while only 5 percent think he’s a a Division Two football player.
The same survey writes that Bill Gates was the most notable figure in the tech world, but funny, five percent think that he’s just a comedian.
Of course all these sound like regular stuff for those of us with some tech background, and yes we reckon it stirred quite a few laughs in the office, but giving Caesar what’s Caesar’s, we’re pretty sure there is a survey out there in the wild that will make us looks like a complete bunch of goofs one day.
“This demonstrates a need for everyone involved in the industry to speak about technology and the benefits it brings clearly and succinctly, and avoid the jargon and ‘geek speak’ that deters so many from developing an interest,” said Eb Adeyeri of Lewis PR.
Still, it’s funny, don’t you think?

You have to realise different people lead different lives and many are uncomprehendable to yourself, and it is deeply sad and narrow that you even think, let alone write that people ought to know or be like you.
Geeks are a minority. No one needs to know what a VHD is, nor who Steve Jobs is. The survey could’ve been intelligable if it tested people’s ability to use a computer; as that is what matters.
That’s coming from an IT consultant.
Steve – you are perfectly correct of course. Point taken. Most people do not need to know who Jobs or Gates are. We’ll hold our hands up to this one and accept that its rather narrow minded to think/assume that knowing who these people are, in the scheme of things, actually matters.
