In an interview with David Letterman, Bill Gates mentioned that the internet will definitely be the next biggest thing to take over the world. Everyone laughed at his statement at the time, but today after almost 30 years, we all are reading about it on the internet.
What Is the Video About?
Old footage recently resurfaced, showing the tech expert talking about the internet while it was still in its early phase. During the 1995 interview, Bill Gates was questioned about the internet and whether he knew anything about it. He explained that it’s a place where individuals can publish information, everyone can have their homepage, companies are there, and the whole world is on the internet. Not only did the audience laugh and mock him in the video, but even Letterman couldn’t comprehend what Bill Gates was suggesting because they didn’t share his vision.
Who Reposted the Video?
It was Elon Musk who posted the interview video on Twitter with a caption expressing that no one knows what future technology holds and how much more it will evolve. The video got so much attention that it made people think about how much we have come forward. With no internet to the world running now on the internet, technology and humans are surely advancing. Bill Gates even predicted about artificial intelligence technology that computers would have a mind of their own. It seemed to him a scary thought if it happened, and now AI’s here, he still believes that they are dangerous. Every time Bill Gates made a prediction, people thought it would never happen, and decades later, it actually came true. The Harvard dropout was only 19 years old when he first started Microsoft in 1975. So, let’s just say that Bill Gates knows what he’s talking about, and he clearly knows more than what people think.
