National Geographic Displays Documentary About Bill Gates And Steve Jobs

With a series called "American Genius," which will air late on Monday, one, the National Geographic enters the "dispute" to tell, once again, parallel stories that surround the dispute between Apple and Microsoft's perspective co-founder of both companies. The episode airs under the name "The competition to control the personal computer in 1974-1999."

The site of the episode, created to promote it, was very interesting and already displays some information relevant to the subject. It features an interactive infographic on the timeline format, showing a kind of competition between the two companies for control of personal computers in the period 1974-1999.

To help tell the stories, National Geographic had collaboration Steve Wozniak (co-founder of Apple) and Walter Isaacson (biography of Jobs), and others to build the documentary more faithfully to the facts. In a press conference accompanied by journalists from Business Insider, Woz said the big difference between Jobs and Gates is that the former was a great visionary, while the latter, in turn, knew how to run things and generate revenue immediately.
