I was tempted to nominate flappist but on reflection he was edged out by Bill Gates. Love him or hate him he founded an empire that influences everything we do today. Look at the statistics, even if you hate windows and office you deal with companys and agencies on a daily basis that use these products to facilitate your needs enen the cash registers in a lot of shops are windows based now.
Microsoft is the OS of choice of most government departments ( although some corporatised departments like the RTA do use Apple Mac), ditto for banks , insurance companies, hospitalsand the list goes on . I'm not saying his products are without fault , far from it but they have become so ingrained they are now in almost every house and office in the county and even the world how is that for being important and infuential. Even flappist cant match that ![]()

Julian Assange. Anyone involved in social media. All this stuff going on in the Middle East is because of the above and its not finished yet.

In reality -- I think, when you ask a question like -- " who is the most influential/important person in the world? " The answer will be in response to the here and now. Ask the question in 10 years time, you'll receive a completely different answer to the question. ---- If Time magazine's opinions counts on anything, here's the Time 100 list. An annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Here's a basic no-frills outline from wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_100 Here's the actual list from Time.com http://www.time.com/time/specials/pa...066367,00.html |

In all seriousness, I have two. Number one is Osama Bin Laden.
He is the sole reason we have strenuous security measures all over the world. Second is Bill Gates. The reason we are now so reliant on PCs and other related technologies.

Currently, IMHO the most influential person is Ben Bernanke - chairman of the US Federal reserve

CHUCK NORRIS ! sorry it hasnt been said yet. i had too
if were talking about in ancient history then heres my take: - alexander the great - pericles - Gengis khan - augustus modern: - Mikhail Kalashnikov - inventor of the ak47 - Leo Szilard - inventor of the first atomic bomb (im 99% sure) - Bill gates (access to practically every household in the modern world....) - Oprah - (If she can influence the US presidency she has some power i have to admit) - Che guevara - (south american revolutionary fighter) - Karl Marx and frederick engels (co writers of the communist manifesto... arguably responsible for providing the theoretical framework/influence for world wars and numerous others) - stalin - trotsky - hitler - Nelson mandela - Sir henry Ford that will do for now i think |
