Bill Gate’s & Microsoft’s early days to now…

Bill Gate’s & Microsoft’s early days to now…

13 Years old Bill Gate and future Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen back in 1968. Nice teletype terminal! My dear CTO, Nick Wilson probably has one…

Microsoft’s Newest invention… Surface! more on this incredible machine here: http://www.microsoft.com/surface/

now go back to the first image and compare to the last image… pretty crazy huh? To think that 30 years from now our kids are going to laugh at things “WE” think are very advanced… like the Surface table below, the iPhone, etc. A few weeks ago I was invited to a Microsoft executive briefing and I had a chance to see some pretty intense futuristic stuff… things you only see in movies such as the minority report or the matrix! Anyway, I won’t ruin the surprise!

Now the big question is, what do you think is waiting for us 30 years from now?
