Gates’ contribution to the world — the practical Desktop Computer — put a lot of secretaries out of work as businesses found it more cost-effective to put a computer on every worker’s desk and ultimately network them.
I was in on a lot of office conversions, “taking the job away” from people doing tasks of unimaginable drudgery filling out logs, ledgers and records manually. In the process, I saw a whole universe of new jobs open up. Not just for networking people like myself, but for the very people who were being “replaced” from their former jobs of maximum drudgery
Not disagreeing. Merely pointing out the fact that Bill Gates is now the “Establishment”. If he really feels that way... Write the Big Check. Don’t sit there an moralize about what others might be permitted or prohibited from doing in the future.
