“The advance of technology is based on making it fit in so that you don’t really even notice it, so it’s part of everyday life.”
This week's quote is by one of the most influential men in the world, the co-founder of Microsoft - Bill Gates
Bill Gates needs no introduction as a renowned technologist, business leader and a philanthropist. He grew up with a very supportive family who encouraged his interest in computers from a very early age. He famously dropped out of college to start Microsoft with his childhood friend Paul Allen.
Their vision at that time of “a computer on every desktop and in every home” seemed very unlikely. But, Bill has always been very passionate about Microsoft and his forward thinking made their vision come true. Technology has become a pivotal part of everyone's daily lives and it is so engrained into our lives, that we don't even notice it.
This is exactly how Bill and Paul imagined the world to be, and they carried it out so seamlessly. It doesn't end here, Bill is still an avid board member of Microsoft and pushes the company to do better everyday.
In one of his interviews, someone asked him - "Does your computer ever crash?"
He said, "Oh definitely, believe me I get to the bottom of it every time and that's part of the passion that I and a lot of Microsoft people have is we want to make a tool that we want to use ourselves and we know from our own use we can make it a lot better and a lot more reliable."
