7 Technological Predictions of Bill Gates (from 1999)
Bill Gates, who predicts 7 technological developments in the future with his book, Business @ the Speed of Thought, written in 1999, is not wrong.
The development of technology depends on the dreams that people make with high estimates. I am sure that we are as big a majority as watching the movie series Back to the Future, and they did not anticipate that flying cars could really exist someday in the future. But the technology that we have come up with today makes it much more likely to happen in the near future. How did Bill Gates predict these technological developments in 1999?
1 - Price comparison sites
When we want to buy a product from the Internet, we first search for the price of the product. Today, we encounter many examples of this. Bill Gates had predicted that these sites would exist one day.
2 - Smartphones
In the years that Bill Gates wrote his book, Nokia was the number one in the mobile world, but these times the phones were not as smart as they are now. Bill Gates predicted in the coming years that we could do many things over the phone, just like on computers.
3 - Personal assistant
Bill Gates predicts that the greatest help for humanity will come from "technology" in the coming years, seeing that we will have virtual assistants just like in real life.
4 - See the house on the internet live
Security cameras have been around for many years, but the house is being watched live from the internet? Gates has proven its ability to predict with Dropcam, which Google bought for $ 555 million in 2014.
5 - Social media
Bill Gates had predicted that some programs and internet sites would be available in the coming years to enable people to chat over the Internet. Do I need to tell you how powerful social media is at the moment?
6 - Sports forums
He also said that while people watch any sporting event, they will be able to discuss and make predictions. I think it is not wrong to say that Twitter is the best example in this sense.
7 - Internet and business world
Gates said that the internet, the biggest communication tool of our day, will take over the business world and that future recruitment will be made over the internet. What are we doing now to look at the job listings of newspapers to apply for a job?
