Bill Gates' Microsoft Programs The World A Frontier In Computer Programming Created By Kyle Sparks |
Bill Gates is a pioneer in the frontier of computer technology and programming. Computers have been around for a long time, but it was Bill Gates who bridged the gap between computer technology and the public. I feel that Bill Gates is to computer technology what Henry Ford was to the automobile. Henry Ford made the automobile feasibly operable for the general public, while Bill Gates made computers accessible, functional and simple enough for the general public to operate. The first computers were programmed in a language, or code, too confusing for the lay person, so Bill Gates developed a program that was user friendly. This was of historical significance because it opened up the world of computer technology. I believe that his historical impact has only just begun. And to think that this all began in a middle school classroom by a 14 year old student named Bill Gates. |
