7 things Bill Gates predicted 18 years ago that have already come true

1.

Gates predicted that people will carry "small devices" that allow them to constantly communicate with each other, as well as check the news, check flight times and do "just about anything else". And that's pretty much the perfect definition of a smartphone.

2.

Private websites will allow you to talk to friends and family. In other words, Gates predicted social media at a time before Facebook or MySpace existed.

3.

There will be automated price comparison services so people can compare the prices across an entire industry.Devices will know what you’ve been buying, and pick to what adverts you see according to your taste and spending habits.

Gates wrote:

Automated price comparison services will be developed, allowing people to see prices across multiple websites, making it effortless to find the cheapest product for all industries.

4.

Gates predicted community websites when he thought online communities would form according to interests, not location. Reddit is a great example of this.

5.

Gates predicted there would be a system that syncs all our devices, and these devices will be able to help us out when we need it. For example, you could tell it what meals you want to make, and when you’re in the supermarket it’ll tell you what ingredients you need to buy. Gates calls them "personal companions". Amazon's Echo is a good example of this prediction coming true.

6.

Employers will be able to go online and find exactly who they’re looking for to help them with a project. Gates wrote, ""Project managers looking to put a team together will be able to go online, describe the project, and receive recommendations for available people who would fit their requirements." This exists now in the form of project management software.

7.

And Gates predicted people will be able to go online and find jobs. Of course, the internet has now become the biggest middleman for job-seekers and employers. There are tonnes of job websites online now, and for the vast majority of us, it's the only way we apply for jobs.

First to reply

Ok

Thank you for information

So he's prophet too!

Thanks

He predicted that steve jobs was a failure and knew nothing about computers. He even called apple CEO when he realized that apple was in the move to buy NEXTSTEP and bring back steve on board as a CEO, gates said "Why do you want that guy back? I tell you he is a failure and he knows nothing about computers and technology. He is useless".
But to his suprise his prediction was wrong, steve managed to turn apple into a mult bilion dollar company we see today, selling stylish and most valuable advanced gadgets.

Walikuwa hawaishi kupondana na steve alikuwa anasema kuwa gates knows nothing about class and style.
Alikuwa anasema gates ana bahati tu kuwa mambo yake mabovu mabovu yamefanikiwa kibiashara lakini hayavutii na wala siyo mazuri.
Pia aliwahi kumdiss gates kuwa aliwaibia wazo la UI akaliweka kwenye windows ambapo gates akamjibu kuwa hilo wazo halikuwa lake akampa mfano ya kwamba ni sawa kuna sehemu watu wawili wameona kitu wakakitamani, yeye gates akavamia usiku kuiba hicho kitu akakuta steve ashakichukua kwa kukiiba pia, lakini gates akawa tayari ana idea nacho pia akaenda kutengeneza.
Na steve aliposikia gates kastaafu na kuanzisha bill and melinda gates, steve alisema kuwa that is where gates deserved to be, not in technology because he has no class and style.

Sijui kuhusu la steve kuwa angekuwa na ela kuliko gates.
But steve alikuwa mtu mmoja selfish na arrogant sana.
Sema his legacy inaficha sana his dark side.
Sema he believed and did exactly what he believed in, there was no way you could change his mind from what he believed in hata kama atafail.
Hata kuhusu kansa yake, walipogundua ana kansa ya kongosho walitaka wamfanyie operation mapema akaleta ubishi eti kuna tiba mbadala akaanza kunywa juice za carrot na kula matunda na mboga za majani.
Alipokuja realize kuwa anazidi kuumwa it was too late hata alipokubari fanyiwa operation ilikuwa ishasambaaa

Pamoja sana mkuu.
He was arrogant, ndiyo maana watu wote alianza nao apple waliondoka na hakuna hata mmoja mwenye share.
Wozniak aliondoka na yule mzee jina lake nimesahau yeye alijiondoa mapema akauza share zake $ 800.
Asingeuza leo zingekuwa na thamani ya $ 34 bilions.
But ndiyo hivyo yupo kafulia balaa na uwa hatajwi tajwi kama mwanzilishi wa apple wakati hata logo ya kwanza na na memorandum aliandaa yeye huyo mzee.

Gates hakuwa anaamini katika ideas za steve ila baadae alikuja kuamini hicho kitu.
Mfano alipozindua iphone ile ya kwanza gates aliwatumua email wafanyakazi wote wa microsoft akawambia itabidi watafte jinsibna wao ya kufanya kama apple katika bidhaa zao.
Wajua kwa kipindi kile mambo aliyokuwa anafanya steve yalikuwa kwa gates yanaonekana hayana maana kwasababu bado watu walianini computers are for enterprises and for business zaidi.
Sio mambo ya entertainment sijui good looking icones n.k ilikuwa kama inaonekana kupoteza muda
