Things that we have now which are products of technology indeed helped us a lot in so many different ways. Computers are just one of the inventions that are widely utilized now all over the world. Who do not know Bill Gates? Well I guess all of us know who he really is but let me give brief information about him for those who just know him by name. Bill Gates is the head of the software company Microsoft and is one of the world's wealthiest men. Together with Paul Allen they founded Microsoft in the 1970s, though Allen left the company in 1983. Gates oversaw the invention and marketing of the MS-DOS operating system, the Windows operating interface, the Internet Explorer browser, and a multitude of other popular computer products. Along the way he gained a reputation for fierce competitiveness and aggressive business savvy and had been famous on the whole wide world for his biggest contribution on technology. During the 1990s rising Microsoft stock prices made Gates the world's wealthiest man; his wealth has at times exceeded $75 billion, making Gates a popular symbol of the ascendant computer geek of the late 20th century. In June of 2006, Gates announced that he would step down from day-to-day involvement in Microsoft by July of 2008. He said he would then remain chairman of the Microsoft board while focusing on his charitable foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Speaking of Bill Gates and Microsoft, we all know that Microsoft and Gates is the biggest contributor on the rapid development of technology. Starting 2001 Stevie Bathiche of Microsoft Hardware and Andy Wilson of Microsoft Research formulated ideas and conceptualized an interactive table wherein they can mix the physical and virtual worlds that will surely bring an exciting interactive experience.
