Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci, the Italian Renaissance polymath best known as a painter, also filled numerous notebooks with detailed engineering and mechanical designs centuries ahead of the technology available to actually build them, including concepts for flying machines, armored vehicles, and hydraulic systems. Da Vinci's notebooks contain detailed studies of human anatomy conducted through his own dissections, along with designs that anticipated later inventions including a rudimentary helicopter concept, a parachute design, and various mechanical devices, reflecting an unusually integrated approach combining art, science, and engineering. Very few of da Vinci's mechanical designs were actually built during his lifetime, since many required manufacturing precision and materials that didn't yet exist in 15th and 16th-century Italy, but his notebooks have had a substantial influence on later scientific and engineering history once rediscovered. Leonardo da Vinci's combination of his uniquely integrated Renaissance approach spanning art, anatomy, and engineering and his remarkably prescient mechanical designs has made him one of the most historically significant inventive minds in human history.
VS
Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs co-founded Apple Computer in 1976 alongside Steve Wozniak, and while Wozniak handled much of the core engineering behind Apple's early computers, Jobs became known specifically for his product vision and insistence on integrated, user-friendly design across hardware and software together. Jobs was forced out of Apple in 1985 following internal corporate conflict, and during his time away he founded NeXT and acquired what became Pixar Animation Studios, before returning to a struggling Apple in 1997 and leading its transformation into one of the most valuable companies in the world. Under Jobs's later leadership, Apple introduced the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad in rapid succession, and the iPhone's 2007 launch in particular is widely credited with fundamentally reshaping the entire mobile phone and personal computing industries around touchscreen smartphone technology. Steve Jobs's combination of his co-founding of Apple and his later transformative return leading the iPhone's development has made him one of the most influential inventors and product visionaries of the modern technology era.
