The Road Ahead By Bill Gates
Do I have to learn how to use a computer on the road ahead?
Bill Gates' Road Ahead
Take a look at The Road Ahead. We have all been bombarded by the seemingly endless hype about the information super highway and the coming age of technology. Now, Bill Gates – who built Microsoft in to one of the most successful companies in the world – gives us his vision of what the future holds for us. The Road Ahead is his bird’s-eye view of the undiscovered territory on the information highway – an authoritative, thought-provoking, and very readable travel guide for the journey.
In this optimistic and refreshingly realistic book, Gates looks ahead to show how the emerging technologies of the digital age will transform all of our lives. As he has said, we are on the brink of a new revolution, and crossing a technology threshold that will forever change the way we buy, work, learn, and communicate with each other. In The Road Ahead, Gates takes us back to when he chose to drop out of Harvard to start his own software company in order to participate in the rise of the personal computer dh foresaw. Just as the personal computer revolutionized the way we work, the tools of the information age – which are, even now, becoming everyday reality – will transform the way we make choices about almost everything
