Bill Gates History
Childhood age to adulthood age.
Bill Gates was born in October 28, 1955 is the principal co-founder of Microsoft Corporation, the world’s largest personal-computer software company and largest and most prestigious technology companies over the world. Since he stepped down as chairman of Microsoft Corporation, he has focused on and contributed of dollars to several charities, especially the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the world's largest private charitable foundation. They are both capricious and generous. They want to help out the indigent people , I mean who are indeed needy.
His quotes:
"Ultimately, the PC will be a window to everything people are interested in-and everything we need to know."-Bill Gates
Some define him as an innovative personality who shone up a computer revolutionary world. Similarly others illustrate on him as a modern-day robber baron whose predatory practices have stifled competition in the software industry. Regardless of what his supporters and detractors ought to consider that, few can argue that Bill Gates is one of, if not the most successful entrepreneur of the 20th century. In just 25 years, he built a two-man operation into a multibillion-dollar colossus and made himself the richest man in the world somewhere along the way. Yet he accomplished this feat not by inventing new technology, but by taking existing technology, adapting it to a specific market, and then dominating that market through innovative promotion and cunning business savvy.
Gates' first exposure to computers came while he was attending the prestigious Lakeside School in Seattle. A local company offered the use of its computer to the school through a Teletype link, and young Gates became entranced by the possibilities of the primitive machine. Along with fellow student Paul Allen, he began ditching class to work in the school's computer room. Their work would soon pay off. When Gates was 15, he and Allen went into business together. The two teens netted $20,000 with Traf-O-Data, a program they developed to measure traffic flow in the Seattle area. The fact matters can't be hidden as above sentence brieves that he is very versatile in all the phenomena.
Despite his love and obvious aptitude for computer programming, and perhaps because of his father's influence, Gates entered Harvard in the fall of 1973. By his own admission, he was there in body but not in spirit, preferring to spend his time playing poker and video games rather than attending class.
Born Henry H. Gates III in 1955 in Seattle, Gates was the second of three children. His father was an advocate, and there was a keen expectation that Bill would follow his father's footsteps. As the young Gates excelled at school, he developed a particular proclivity for mathematics, which turned towards the emerging science of computer programming. This was a new technology at the time, and Gates and his friends essentially taught themselves how to program, gaining part-time work for Seattle businesses. Gates and his friend Paul Allen kept their interest in programming alive while he was attending Harvard, believing that a personal home computer was the future of the industry. When the magazine Popular Mechanics published a story about a microcomputer being produced in New Mexico, Gates and Allen saw their chance and developed a unique program compatible with this system. Gates left Harvard and the pair moved to Albuquerque to continue their work. In April of 1975, they founded their own company called Microsoft.
