In a recent interview by The Economist, Bill Gates insists that technology has to work for poor people, and justifies the reasons to be optimistic about the future based on its advantages. His view of the current crisis, and his opinion on the balance to be reached, implies a desirable window of opportunity for a new order.
Gates is better known for being the richest man in the world than for being the greatest philanthropist in history. Undoubtedly, the worldwide geek in chief is also admirable in his commitment to making a difference in the world for those most in need. Admirable, and without a doubt, inspiring.
