Warm Up 3/18 - Bill Gates on Robots and Lots More

So last Thursday, there was an event called "From Poverty to Prosperity: A Conversation with Bill Gates" right here in Washington DC

Start off by reading what Bill Gates himself says about the future of jobs, and what role computers will play in what you get hired for.

Start your write-up by telling me: what is Gates saying about the future of jobs?

If you get done with that, I wonder who can find the most interesting background info about Bill Gates.  We all know he founded Microsoft, but can you find three other interesting facts about his past life?

For the last part, you can check out some of the other things he talked about in the Wash DC talk he gave.  You will need a pair of headphones for this part of the activity.  Head over to the main page of the talk itself, and you are presented with a playlist, broken down in to little segments of his talk by topic.

Pick out a segment, and tell me in your warm-up what Bill Gates is saying in that part of his talk.

As an alternate (that is if you don't have headphones) you can use his website http://www.thegatesnotes.com/ and go see if you can find his position on some of these important topics

When everyone is done, whoever has the best writeup will get to choose which clip from the playlist we watch as a class.

Good luck
