This is an article by Bill Gates that came out today on Wired's website. I just thought some of you all might find it interesting, especially since it relates to some of our recent readings.
For instance, Gates trusts that science and technology will save the world, saying, "At heart I’m an optimist. Technology is helping us overcome our biggest challenges." Along those lines, he talks about things like poverty and the Green Revolution in Africa (about which I'm not convinced he's actually right-- see our readings from the other day about sustainable ag from Jackson, Keller, and Brummer).
Anyway, you can just read it yourself and draw your own conclusions. Here's the link: http://www.wired.com/business/2013/11/bill-gates-wired-essay/
