Bill Gates' words of wisdom

June 26, 2008

"Whenever new technologies come along, parents have a legitimate concern about how it's being used. And the Internet had to be high on the list there."

  • "We are living in a phenomenal age. If we can spend the early decades of the 21st century finding approaches that meet the needs of the poor in ways that generate profits and recognition for business, we will have found a sustainable way to reduce poverty in the world."

  • "The finest pieces of software are those where one individual has a complete sense of exactly how the program works."

  • "Like almost everyone who uses e-mail, I receive a ton of spam every day. Much of it offers to help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It would be funny if it weren't so irritating."
