Gates says big changes in store for Internet in next decade
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates said there will be a vast shift in Internet technology over the next decade as he met Tuesday with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak.“We’re approaching the second decade of (the) digital age,” the software mogul and philanthropist told Lee at the start of their meeting at the presidential Blue House, according to a media pool report.
“The Internet has been operating now for 10 years,” Gates said. “The second 10 years will be very different.”
Really? Only 10 years? What was that damned thing I used to use to post to Usenet back in the late eighties?
But it’s good to know we can always count on Bill Gates for the really bleeding edge predictions. Next ten internet years to be different? Who could possibly have imagined that?
What a brain!
