gates' vision of the future
MediaGuardian.co.uk | Media | Gates unveils his vision of a future made of silicon: "He said the next challenge would be to take advantage of ubiquitous wireless, super-fast internet connections. Advances in computer hardware had been a 'miracle' but high-speed internet connections would accelerate the pace of change even further. Computers would become almost invisible, he said, integrated into everything that we do.
'In some ways the computer just disappears into the environment. All these devices will be hooked up to the internet and the internet will not have any speed limitations. And these devices will be a lot cheaper than they are today,' he said.
Magazines and newspapers would eventually become redundant in their existing form, with interactive, personalised content delivered to handheld devices. 'A lot of the reading that's taking place, the richness to be able to call up anything will take over,' he said."
