| Gates foresees another revolution
|
| Description:
| MICROSOFT chairman Bill Gates said last week the dramatic growth of the internet would help to eventually eliminate "the last constraints we have", leading to a software-writing revolution. ... The way people used computers would expand "to encompass all interactive techniques: the touch, the speech, the vision", said Mr Gates, who stepped down in June from his full-time role at Microsoft, which he co-founded. Major developments in internet services and computer interfaces, "because they're fairly developed in the labs, I can say that in 10 years will be widespread", he said. As for the following decade, he predicted: "You might get artificial intelligence or robotics, but those are still so undeveloped, at least in widespread impact."
