摘要

In 1990, in a keynote speech at the Comdex computer conference, Microsoft's then-chief executive, Bill Gates, bolstered his bona fides as a tech visionary when he declared the PC industry would produce advances within a few years that would put information at people's fingertips. To get there, Gates said, the world needed three things: a more "personal" personal computer, more powerful communications networks, and easy access to abroad range of information. Sometimes visionaries are right on the vision but off on the timing.
