= ﻿ media type="youtube" key="qfbnE4Q7U5A?fs=1" height="197" width="295"= =__ Bill Gates __= = By Ben Yoel 8B Red House = = I am an American businessman, author, Chairman and creator of Microsoft. My birth name is William Henry Gates III and was born on October 28th, 1955 in Seattle, Washington. In 1973 I enrolled myself into Harvard University as a freshman and studied computer science and software. In 1975, I dropped out of Harvard University as a Junior to create Microsoft, a company I started with my childhood friend, Paul Allen. I also created Windows. I am famous mainly because of my creations of Microsoft and Windows. I created Microsoft because I believed there should be a computer in every office desk and in every home. =

= I have changed the world because I created Windows and Microsoft which helps people use computers and use software digitally. The fact that people use computers has changed the world because we use computers for socialising, work and leisure. Computers have changed the world because people can communicate with one another in less than a minute via a social network website and you can do all kinds of things on the computer like play games, create tables on excel for work, etc. = = I have had a lasting impact because I invented Microsoft and Windows. If I hadn't invented Microsoft and Windows, we wouldn't have all the software that we have today like MSN, Microsoft Office Word, Excel, Powerpoint, the internet and the computer. People wouldn't have been inspired by my genius ideas about developing computer science and software. I also influenced many people by creating the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. My main focuses now are on global health, poverty and development and education and information. Each year, I donate a lot of money to help African children with there health and education. = = The IB Learner Profiles that I fit into are knowledgeable because I have extensive knowledge of software and computer programming. I am also an inquirer because I look into society and see what I can do to improve the world we live in today in terms of technology, software and computer science.bla bla bla = = Bibliography: = “Bill Gates.” Crenk.
