Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates said Tuesday that the dramatic growth of the Internet would eventually spark a software-writing revolution.
Gates, speaking at a forum to mark the 10th anniversary of his company's Asian research arm, said technology currently being developed would expand the way people use computers "to encompass all interactive techniques," including touch and speech.
"People often talk about this as the Internet service revolution," Gates told a gathering of 1,600 researchers and academics in Hong Kong. "That will eventually lead to machines that have lots of server capacity, lots of low-cost computing, low-cost storage. And that will let us write software in an even more ambitious way, eliminating the last constraints we have."
