Men Of the Year Trivia

Time magazine announces the Person/idea of the year, every year to pay tribute to the most influential (good or bad) person/idea in the preceding year. As I was perusing this stuff, I got to know certain interesting things/people that/who have featured in this over the years. I've got a small question set based on these facts. Before starting off the quiz, wanted to let you know that this concept was started by Time magazine in 1927 and has continued ever since. The list features an entire gamut of people from Pope John Paul II to Adolf Hitler. Multiple people have won this honor multiple number of times (Like Joseph Stalin, President Lyndon Johnson etc.). Groups of people (like The American Woman, US Scientists, Hungarian Freedom Fighters etc.) and objects (like The endangered earth) are not new to this honor.

Here are the questions,

1. Who was the 1st person to win this honor in 1927? This person featured at a significantly young age of 25.
2. Who is the only Indian to have featured as Time's Man of the year so far?
3. Which was the first object that featured as Time's Man of the year (or should it be Thing of the year)? (Hint: Won in the year 1982)
4. In 1999, A founder and president of a popular technology firm won the Time Man of the year. Who is he?
5. A tangential question, Who is Time's Person of the century?
