Today it was a wonderful day because there was a meeting of Mr. Bill Gates ( Chairman and Chief Software Architect of Microsoft Corporation) with students from all universities around the Turkey. There were about 2000 students who waited for a long time for that moment to meet with this great guy who changed the world.
This year he and his wife Melinda Gates were selected Persons of the Year, and they created the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to help reduce inequities in four main areas.
Meeting started with the presentation of codirector of Microsoft Turkey, Mr. Ekrem Yener. He explained the migration of technology from past to nowadays and concentrated on the vision and role of Microsoft in this technological progress. Then, the director of Microsoft, Çağlayan Arkan, talked briefly about Microsoft and Bill Gates and then presented him.
Everybody was happy to see this Microsoft guy in real life because this chance comes to our life once and we appraised this chance. He was an ordinary guy as well as cool guy. He shared his vision of emerging technologies and generally focused on future's technology rather than nowadays technologies.
"Computer for every person"
Interesting isn't it? His original vision was different (not different but not like what he said today) when he started Microsoft. It was, "a computer on every desk in every home". But, today it was something very original and it is for "every person" and now everyone needs computer and we are all living with technologies, using these tools everywhere and everytime.
