Over the last 30 years or so a number of "Tech Giants" have emerged. These individuals (Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, or more recently Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, etc.) have exercised great influence over the domestic and global economy, amassed remarkable fortunes, and in some instances have helped shaped government policy. In the context of our learning relating to the first module, to what extent should contemporaries or future historians think of these "Tech Giants" as "Robber Barons" or "Titans of Industry?" How should the public today think about the leaders of Silicon Valley-in a favorable or negative light, or somewhere in between? How do you think future historians will write about today's "Tech Giants"? Will they be compared to Carnegie, Rockefeller, Gould? In a good way or a bad way?
