REED HASTINGS
Current Status: On the verge of becoming a digital media powerhouse

Changing The Game By: Making sure you never drive to a Blockbuster again. Hastings founded Netflix in 1997 after a video store’s hefty late fee got him thinking. Since then, millions of users have loaded up their queues and the company has mailed out over 2 billion DVDs. Now, Hastings has turned his attention to streaming video. He's added Netflix to everything from TiVo and Xbox to Samsung Blu-ray players, and today nearly 3 million people use Netflix to stream movies and TV shows to their computers, TVs, handhelds, and gaming devices.

Killer Quote: "It's possible that within a few years, nearly all Internet-connected consumer electronics devices will include Netflix."
