What does "forgotten" mean in this context? There are plenty of people that if I hadn't read about them in history class, they would, too, be forgotten. Is Gladwell saying people will stop writing about Jobs, or any popular literature that mentions him will be burned?

And from the article: "no one will even remember what Microsoft is" I guess that assumes we'll all be dead in 50 years. Actually, less time than that. This assumes that at some point in the future, Microsoft disappears, and shortly thereafter its memory. After reading that I stopped reading the article.
