Bill Gates
  • We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don't let yourself be lulled into inaction.

  • People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn't they? People feared coal, they feared gas-powered engines... There will always be ignorance, and ignorance leads to fear. But with time, people will come to accept their silicon masters.

  • This is a fantastic time to be entering the business world, because business is going to change more in the next 10 years than it has in the last 50.

  • Climate change is a terrible problem, and it absolutely needs to be solved. It deserves to be a huge priority.

  • I'm a great believer that any tool that enhances communication has profound effects in terms of how people can learn from each other, and how they can achieve the kind of freedoms that they're interested in.
