20 years might be pushing it, but he'd be gone 34ish years by that point. He wasn't much of a philanthropist. Is there any Steve Jobs Parks? Plazas? His early death didn't lend him much time to create a legacy. He'll be known in business and tech scenes, sure, but the pop culture knowledge of him will be negligible. Does the general public know about the CEO of IBM 35+ years ago? The current crop of CEOs are like WWE wrestlers in their persona compared to Jobs. Being present for the smartphone revolution was something, but does anyone remember the CEO of the company that introduced the laptop? Jobs wasn't a Carnegie or Rockefeller.

Idk, Steve Jobs has like at least 2 movies about him. Pretty sure his name will last considerably longer than 20 years on that alone.
