The Road Ahead Bill Gates Pdf

Too technical and some part of the book went above my head. Don't know whether he could have dumb down..
Other than that, the book is very inspiring and I learned a lot. He talk about the evolution of computer from the business stand point of view.
But comparatively Melinda Gates book, The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World is mind blowing. So this book got 4 stars.

I read this only a few years after it came out, as a little boy. It really stretched my mind and forced me to start thinking about the future.

Written in 1995. I read it in 2013 and most of it is still relevant. It is relevant because Bill Gates was on on the forefront of computers back then and could see the many directions and ways computers would affect us in the future. This book is fascinating and also amusing in ways which the internet and technology did not go the way he predicted. A solid book. It is a keeper for me and I will probably read it again in a few years.

Read this shortly after publication. An infomecial for Microsoft projects.
Overcome by history.

Bill Gates’ “The Road Ahead” is non-fiction publication in which Gates writes about how we are on the brink of a complete cultural and technological revolution. He outlines major technological innovations of the past that have led to this and how we are being affected by it right now. He also shares his own theories regarding the innovations of the future and how they will affect the average American household. This book was written in 1995, a time in which Microsoft was still a developing compa..more

'..finding a job will be easier if you have embraced the computer as a tool.' ~ Bill Gates, The Road Ahead, p. 258
I found this book like reading the prophets of the old testament and Bill Gates is the prophet and the things he is saying are predicting what will happen in the future of the technological highway.
Because this book was written in 1995, you begin to see that Bill Gates was not too far off from the mark. I believe that is why Microsoft has had tremendous success..that being the lead..more

i learn i could get evrything from life that i want .but bill gates never learn to respect to other brain.

‘The Road Ahead’ written by Bill Gates with the collaboration of Nathan Myhrvold and Peter Rinearson had surely kept its promise that it would clear up the ‘seemingly endless hype about the information highway’ which is proudly stated on the book’s synopsis. Published by the Viking Penguin in 1995, the book had vividly shown the situation that the people encountered about the rising age of technology over that time. Funny enough, those individuals who have read the hardback right after it was re..more

Fascinating!

I had found this book very inspiring. I liked the vision Bill gates shares in this one, namely 'A computer running Microsoft Windows on everyones desk'. This book, I believe, from the early days of Microsoft and had really thought on future world with ubiquitous computing. I liked to so much that I inherited some of his thoughts on future home design and tried it at my house while building (wherein there would be phone on all rooms and only phone near the person would ring (this was before cell..more

A 1995 book being read in 2014. His idea and vision of information highway is way too awesome. He has already described what Google has been up to for past few years. Too bad, Microsoft couldnt catch up even though Bill Gates had the vision. As for the book, a good read. :)

Bill Gates and Paul Allen understood the potential of developing an information highway long before most entrepreneurs gained a similar vision. Most successful business start ups begin with an idea and require subject knowledge, patience, market timing and luck. Bill's and Paul's development of the DOS operating system was timely and vital to IBM's successful launch of an interactive computer system. Gates and Allen focused on software. IBM limited focus on developing hardware. It was fortuitous..more

Being written in 1995, this book precedes a heck of a lot of present day computer/internet world but is able to describe a future in a way that made it sound not so far fetched (and actually pretty representative for what we have for today). And with coming from that era, multimedia was a hot topic so with an interactive CD-ROM accompanying this book was a peak mid-90s computer thing to do.
A major buzz word back in 1995 was the 'Information Superhighway' (I remember). This phrase is practically..more

If you haven't read one of the several biographies of Gates, you might find some of the personal tidbits he has included mildly amusing. Gates says he recognized the real power of computers, for example, when he wrote a scheduling program for his school that put him in a class with mostly girls.
At age 8, he started to read a set of encyclopedias, finally stopping when he reached the Ps. He talks of virtual dating in which he watches the same film as a girlfriend living in another city and discus..more

I found this book a bit funny, 'cause as it has more than 20 years, the information that it provides are so familiar for us nowadays, Bill Gates tried to explain in a very simple way how the computers would look like, his predictions were so precise as he had a very clear plan for the future! he speaks about the features the internet will bring with, like the electronic mail, the communication with voice and picture instantly, why we are not gonna miss our favorite TV show, and so on.

(1995 version) Gates's surprisingly prescient predictions from 1995. It bogs down a little in the middle, where he painstakingly describes his imagined gadgets of the near future, where his vision of a complete internet is made. He has a higher emphasis than he would today on capitalistic deregulation (it was the deregulation-mad nineties) and, of course, his classic and unpopular opinions on what wasn't quite yet known as DRM. The best parts are his view on the recent history of PCs at the star..more

I find it extremely funny when Bill Gates criticizes IBM for applying 'mainframe business' mindset during the dawn of PC only for Microsoft to stubbornly trying to miniaturize 'personal computer running Windows' into wallet-sized form-factor during the inception of the smartphone.
NOTE: I have chosen the original 1995 release, to see what had Bill Gates in mind when the book became first available. There was a substantial revision released a year later - AFAIK quite a lot of things were changed i..more

My brother had given me this book 7 years ago. I tried several times and failed. But after developing bit of reading aptitude I tried it and finished off successful. in these 7 years I have also become an entrepreneur and now when I turned it's last page, I feel so foolish for not reading it. I would have taken more intelligent steps. must read for technology related entrepreneur. it is not biography but vision of Mr. Gates which is a realty in today with Google, Facebook, Twitter and many Inter..more

While I have the advantage of 20 years of hindsight, I found this to be an interesting read of Bill Gates' prophetic view of the technology environment and his projection for how technology would impact the world we live in. Since I lived through that twenty year period employed by other key players in the tech world, it is easy for me to challenge certain of his visions, but, without question, a very enjoyable retrospective read.

It's been estimated 21 years after this book was published and Bill Gates'prediction in computing and communication is happening drastically. Hence, as a student in this field, I learned that we need to enhance our pace to move ahead of this rapidly changes. Don't be afraid to take risks since we still don't know our future. We need to keep learning, for in the future we'll not become obsolete in our careers.

Bill Gates The Road Ahead Pdf

I read this a number of years ago when it was published. Looking back on it now it is more of a history book than anything else. It is interesting to look where IT was heading at the time. Some aspects turned out completely incorrect and other aspects turned out to be accurate, but well before the technology could support it (i.e. Clippy being an embryonic Siri?).
As a snapshot of the times this would still be an interesting read, but I daresay of limited appeal

Bill Gates's thinking of 1995, indoubthly a technologic vissionary, so much of their predictions now be reallity. (27 years after) Although this book isn't a summary fo their enterprise ideas with Microsoft, I enjoyed every chapter because much of his ideas about the role of tecnology and communication for a better life actually be value.

This book was a good book about the technology of tomorrow. This is about how emerging technologies will change people's lives and how the information highway known as the internet will change lives around the world. This book was written in 1995 so when it is talking about the technology of tomorrow it is really the technology of today which is why I found it so interesting.

I am a little torn on the rating here. The book is pretty complex and sometimes technical but the insights into the future written almost 25 years ago: amazing. On the one hand I wish I had read it when it first came out and on the other hand I wish I could find something as insightful that is new today.
