Microsoft twenty-five years Bill Gates
What is our future?
Since the construction of the first digital computer since John Atanaov and Kreft Beiler, the time has passed for more than half a century. We have seen the process of computer evolution - from huge, air-conditioning equipment and need to be able to manage the behemoths to manage, to the small desktop machine, and then to the operable computer of more than ten years ago, the speed of the fastest computer's portable computer . Now, our potential to them is just a semi-solving.
As early as 1975, Paul and I have dreams to make the computer become omnipotent, and it is omnipotent. We envision that the portable computer will be able to record, process all daily transactions, and huge computer networks will allow us to keep all the world's knowledge, our exchanges between our computers are like we are chatting with each other.
At that time, these were just dreams, but now many of them have become reality, and we are about to achieve more great breakthrough results. Computers are getting smaller, faster, cheaper, more features. Computers can identify handwritten and speech commands, which make them into the network, send information to the world. Now, you have embedded your computer into a variety of devices such as refrigerators, gas meters, and credit cards.
Smart families embedded in computer smart to protect our family's safety, exempt from many of their daily lives. With a global connection and e-books, children can find various knowledge in an instant, but in the past, I need to go through the encyclopedia books that can be reached. Powerful mobile devices will liberate us from the desktop, so that we can operate anytime, anywhere. With the increasing size of the microprocessor, the function is increasing, and our surroundings will have operations everywhere - perhaps even in our clothes. Support all these technologies, is to help people get greater creativity, keep in touch with each other, making life more enriched great software.
In a person concern, I like to notine the size of the computer, which can be high-speed wireless access to the Internet, and the size and weight are both enough to display many useful information, which is easy to carry. For me, this is really excluding many obstacles, allowing me to deal with various digital memo, documents, images, music and movies.
The reason why I was attracted by a computer because you can make a lot of programming, and you can control a lot of control on your desire. However, most people just want the computer to work for them. Today, we are close to the best state of success at the same time. I look forward to the intelligence of the software is enough to manage my information, simplify my life, and the flexibility it has allows me to actually create creative during use. When I search online about a subject - such as biotechnology - information, my software should be smart to eliminate the information I have already mastered. When I need to arrange a visit, my software should only show me what available in the days I plan to enter the city.
Breakthroughs in wireless technology are also incredible opportunities. In Microsoft, we have entered a wireless network, which allows me to bring my computer or other smart devices to leave the office into a conference room or other office building without loss. It is also unimaginable for the possibility of the family. I can shoot a video outside for my children, and store the digital stream on my computer and send it to my father.
We are entering a new era that will bring us unprecedented magical experience. We expect to access high-speed Internet at home, will become like electricity today, followed by inending wireless access. We believe that the microprocessor will further become small, cheaper, and more powerful. We believe that a personal computer will receive a large number of equipment and household appliances with PC intelligence, including pocket PCs and notepad PCs, smart vehicles, refrigerators, and even a complete home intelligence equipment.
We put all the bets all in Microsoft's .NET strategy - this is a new platform, a new user experience, a series of advanced software and services that allow all of these devices to work and achieve seamless connection . In this way, you can get the information you need for your work whenever you are. In order to make this become a reality, I have served as a new job of Microsoft's chief software designer in early 2000. Now I use most of the time I think it is the most appropriate thing - thinking about technology development trends, planning how to make those exciting new achievements to be useful for everyone through our software and services Indispensable tools. This is going to do a lot of work, such as how to let the software help your equipment exchange, best configuring and self-management? How to help them see, listen and understand your needs? How to help them provide you with what you need in an appropriate manner? How to protect your valuable data is not stealing or eavesdropped?
We used technology from Microsoft .NET from our researchers for a long time, they have been forecasting the future demand for software. At the beginning of the creation of Microsoft, I have dreams to build our own laboratory, to explore new computing areas, new user interfaces, advanced programming technology, and even research can promote basic science of computing science. I have been envious of the work of those famous research rooms, such as the world's earliest large industrial research laboratory - General Electric's "Magic Palace", Bell Labs and Xi La's Parro Alto Research Center (PARC), prompted us Many techniques that have changed in life have originated from these research institutions.
We launched Microsoft Research Institute in 1991. From then on, it has created numerous new technologies, making our product functions more easier to use. Microsoft Research has launched code optimization procedures and test tools to help us create more reliable high quality software. The natural language processing tools they provide add a rich syntax check function for the Word system. The Clear Type program they develop has doubled the clarity of the LCD display today, which greatly improves the experience of reading on the screen and promotes the development of e-books for cheap and easy reading. Currently they are studying natural interface technology to help computers understand your voice, your posture or even face expression. Today, they are helping us to develop and configure many technologies needed to achieve Microsoft .NET strategy.
A full-time work in Microsoft Research Institute is to look forward to the future. However, all kinds of ideas promoting our progress are from all departments of the company. Some of these ideas will become the software tomorrow, while others may become the software that we will use by our grandson. When I retrieve Paul and my childhood, I really surprised our achievements. However, when I look forward to my own child's future world, I realized that the future change is even more exciting.
