>>>"I am proud to be part of an industry that has revolutionized the world in only 25 years," Gates said.<<<

I guess all that stuff that happened before Gates got into it was unimportant prehistory. Either that, or he needs to look up revolution in the dictionary. 25 years? The boy never heard of Hollerith, Babbage, Hopper, or Turing? Asimov, for that matter?

In the last 25 years we have *exploited* what the pioneers did. We have *enhanced* it. We have finally as a society started getting some *productivity* from it. But the turning point was back maybe around 1950. The heavy thinkers had most of this stuff figured out, and most of the long-term consequences way past now, by 1965.

Cheers,
Chaz
