Electric, driverless cars
Tesla has brought self-driving cars and now other manufactures like Volvo are following suit. Electric engines are of the future and already new houses are being built with a charging station built in the garage. Recent breakthroughs in battery technology suggest that charging time will be reduced to just a few minutes and cars will be able to cover a larger range with a single charge. 
Capsule endoscopy 
Capsule endoscopy was first used to treat patients in 2001. This non-invasive monitoring system requires the patient to swallow a small pill-sized camera that will go through their digestive system. The camera traverses the gastrointestinal system and doctors can monitor its track identifying internal bleeding, cancer, ulcers and other pathologies. 


Cryptocurrency
The idea of a decentralised virtual currency came out after the economic crisis hit the world in 2008. People stopped trusting banks and the idea of an immutable and unhackable online ledger system seemed to be the solution. Bitcoin was invented in 2009 and it has been becoming the preferred payment option in so many industries in the past few years. Now there are thousands of different cryptocurrencies, some more popular than others.
The 21st century has seen colossal advances in technology, with pioneers such as Steve Jobs transforming our day-to-day lives with their innovations. In this blog we celebrate the work by this tech giant and look at the top 5 tech innovators of the 21^st century.

Tech Innovators: Steve Jobs

After meeting Steve Wozniak at a summer internship at Hewlett-Packard, the pair would go on to co-found Apple Computers in the garage of Jobs’ parents’ home, eventually securing the company as one of the global leaders in technology innovation.
After the worldwide success of the Apple I and Apple II computers, Jobs and his team co-invented the Apple Macintosh computer. However, disappointing sales led to a financial strain on the company- leading to Jobs being fired as CEO.
Later that year Jobs moved on to found NeXT, a company that produced powerful workstation computers for the education market. Not content with just one global market, Jobs bought the relatively unknown studio The Graphics Group. This was built into a major animation studio, and after achieving global dominance in animated feature films, was renamed ‘Pixar’ and sold to Disney for $7.4 billion.
After nearly 10 years of plummeting sales, Apple turned to its visionary co-founder for help. After purchasing NeXT, they re-appointed Jobs to Apple, who quickly returned the company to profitability. Jobs continued to innovate within the brand, leading to products that would make the brand renowned such as iTunes, the iPod, the iPad, and most notably the iPhone . With its iconic touch-screen technology and advanced computer-like capabilities, Jobs was pivotal in creating one of the most influential inventions yet, arguably changing the way that most of us manage our business and personal life.
