I don't agree. I just watched a talk from Gates in 2008: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsonKu4STzM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsonKu4STzM I thought it was totally wild how much he predicted correctly, e.g. personalized ads, big data analytics, internet of things, increased pervasiveness of screens throughout life, explosion in phone ownership, smart mirrors. Some of that stuff was obvious by 2008, but his vision was always miles ahead in my opinion.

>smart mirrors Where are those? >personalized ads, big data analytics, internet of things, increased pervasiveness of screens throughout life, explosion in phone ownership, You mean the kinds of things that were already happening for a decade by 2008? I predict in 2021 that Tiktok will be the biggest app.
