Gates devoted his last speech to his favorite hobby - predictions. In a speech, he described the "second digital decade." During this period, all attention will be focused on connections between people, services will work on all platforms - PC, PDA, mobile phone, Internet TV, etc. Gates prophesies the serious development of high-definition video technology.
The main technology is computers mounted on a table whose surface will become a touchscreen display (Microsoft is already developing such a technology).
Information will be easier to transfer from device to device, and the user interface will become increasingly natural. The dominance of the mouse and keyboard from 1995 to 2005 will be followed by the popularity of touch control devices.
So, Bill Gates in any case did a lot for the development of information technology from the early 90s to our days. The Gates Plan will affect the corporation for a few more years, until Vista and other new products become obsolete.
