    Outside Speech Assignment

    After I watched the speech which was gave by Bill Gates in June 08, 2007 on the Harvard commencement, I felt more interesting in Bill Gates. According to the information offered by woopidoo.com, we can find the Biography of Bill Gates, which said, “Bill Gates is one of the most influential people in the world. He is cofounder of one of the most recognized brands in the computer industry with nearly every desk top computer using at least one software program from Microsoft. Bill Gates is the richest man in the world and has held the number one position for many years. Gates was born and grew up in Seattle, Washington USA. His father, William H. Gates II was a Seattle attorney and his mother, Mary Maxwell Gates was a school teacher and chairperson of the United Way charity. Gates and his two sisters had a comfortable upbringing, with Gates being able to attend the exclusive secondary "Lakeside School".

Gates and Allen worked on a version of the programming language BASIC, which was the basis for the MITS Altair (the first microcomputer available). He did not go on to graduate from Harvard University as he left in his junior year to start what was to become the largest computer software company in the world; Microsoft Corporation.”…

    During his childhood, he often isolated himself to work on programming computer games and other applications. He was so interested in computers that his parents hired him a computer tutor, but soon it was discovered that he was a prodigy with computers. Over the course of the years, Mark continued creating different games, applications, and other programs until he dropped out of Harvard University to work on Facebook. He was described by Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg as “...shy and introverted and...often does not seem very warm to people who don’t know him,” however he proved to the world that being introverted is powerful. He spent many hours by himself gaining knowledge and studying the social interactions of the world. As a result of his hard work, Facebook was created. Facebook changes the way people communicated; it allows easy and fast communication among the younger and older generations separated by miles of water and land.

    Bill Gates Research Paper

    William Henry Gates III was born on October 28, 1955 in Seattle, Washington. Bill Gates was born into a very intellectual and well educated family. Throughout the book, we receive an impression of him as a very curious person who always seeks for new knowledge. At the age of eight or nine, he began to read his family’s encyclopaedia and his interest in technology at a very young age is one of the reasons why his career is so interesting. Not many young people at that age would be interested in technology. At the age of thirteen Bill Gates formed the Lakeside Programmers Group with his computer friends, which shows his love and passion for technology.…

    Bill Gates and His Effect on Society

    Bill Gates was born in Seattle, Washington October 28, 1955. His mother was a schoolteacher, and his father was a Lawyer. Gates had two sisters, and was spoiled as a child in a wealthy household. He was sent to a school by the name of Lakeside, here is where he began to show his interest in computer technology. At the age of thirteen, Gates violated school rules by creating his first software, a tic-tac-toe game, during “computer time” in class. In his attendance at lakeside, he built up a bad reputation by disregarding the rules and although he was socially awkward, and extremely opinionated, he managed to find a friend who shared the same interests in computer technology, Paul Allen. Allen became great friends with Gates, and in 1971 he even co-created their first company called TRAF-O-DATA. Their Company “specialized in monitoring and analyzing traffic statistics in cities and countries”(Berbagi). Their company did well and made $20,00 the first year, but then quickly fell due to customers discovering his age of 17. Gates soon graduated from Lakeside in 1973, with a surplus of knowledge. It is rumored that he scored a 1590 out of 1600 points on his SAT (Leaders of the information age). In later months, Bill Gates attended Harvard University with Allen, and began a programming language called BASIC. However, this…
