Some of the world's greatest stories are about rivalries -- and this is what the National Geographic Channel is banking on with its new television show titled "American Genius."
The TV channel is launching a series about some of the most celebrated thinkers and their adversaries, including the Wright brothers vs. Curtiss, Colt vs. Wesson and Oppenheimer vs. Heisenberg. But it's kicking off the series with the infamous competition between Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and their rise to the top of the computer world.
"The digital age was not born peacefully," a teaser to the Jobs vs. Gates show says. "It emerged from a bitter rivalry between two of the most influential minds the world has ever known."
Since Jobs passed away from pancreatic cancer in October 2011, dozens of books, TV shows and movies have been created that document the Apple co-founder and his life. National Geographic's show is the latest to look at how Jobs and others in his field revolutionized the world with personal computers.
The Jobs vs. Gates rivalry goes back to the late 1960s and early 1970s when the modern computer was just getting its start. "American Genius" features reenactments of the two young men dropping out of college on their dueling quests to invent personal computers and software. Jobs is portrayed as a dreamy hippie turned hard-nosed businessman, while Gates is shown as a driven programming nerd. The show follows their pursuit up through the 1980s.
"American Genius" has several interviews with businesspeople, experts in the field and people who knew Jobs and Gates at the time, including Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, politician and businessman Mitt Romney and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.
"I wasn't into all of the politics and the way business people think," said Wozniak during a Tuesday conference call for members of the press. "And Steve was.
