TECHi's Take
When Bill Gates co-founded Microsoft nearly 40 years ago, he had the idea to put a computer on every desk, and in the ’90s he evangelized the concept of “information at your fingertips.” Since he stepped down as CEO of Microsoft in 2008, he has turned his full attention to saving lives and eliminating poverty through the work and financial donations of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
