This website is designed to help you realize the
thousands of things you can do with your computer and the internet.
This is not a page for solving problems created by Internet viruses or computer
crashes. You can do
that on the internet. Just look for a site that will do for you what you need
done.
Look into your modern
lives and share with other internet users how
these high tech
tools can be used to simplify and
enhance the quality of life God has allowed
us to pursue.
Information is tremendously important. Because of information the United Sates
is a leader in the world.
The means for enriching your life with information can be easily
available. When
these motivating
uses are learned, the computer becomes less
intimidating. IT changes into something you want to
learn more about and how to use.
Send me your list of things that you like to use the computer for
on the
Internet in your everyday
life and I will list it here to share with other computer users. Send
it to

This is an exciting time in the world of computers and information. It is a beginning. New things are coming, and new jobs are coming with them.
![]() Bill Gates |
I hope for great things from
the future, but I worry a little, too. Workers will have to learn these new
jobs. Countries will become nearer together, and this will change the way we
feel about neighboring countries. There will be new problems, but today we can
only guess what they will be.
Sometimes, with everything changing, it seems that the world will be completely different from one day to the next. It won't. But we have to be ready for some changes. |
For most people the problem is "Where will my place be in all this?" They worry about new jobs and their children's jobs. These are serious questions. Some jobs will disappear. But these are the same questions I heard when the personal computer arrived in the work-place, and nothing terrible happened then.
Each time a job disappears, the worker who has that job is free to do something new. This means people do more work, and that is good for everyone.
Before we had machines, most people lived or worked on farms. Today, only a few people in the United States do this work. The children and the grandchildren of farmers didn't stop working; they just found new jobs. In 1990, more than half the 501 different jobs you could have were jobs that weren't there in 1940.
Computers frighten almost everyone (everyone but children) before they learn to use them. When people spend more time with computers, they understand them better. You can start by playing computer games or doing other simple things. Once you start using them, I think you'll like them.
The most important users will be today's children and young people. The Internet is for the future. To give the children this future, we have to do two things. We have to get both girls and boys in front of computers. There are women in the computer business, but there are places for many more. We also have to get the Internet into the schools the lowest price possible for using it.
What will the price of the Internet be? People worry about that. Because the Internet needs as many users as it can get, it will not be expensive.•
People are also afraid of sharing too much personal information. Computers already have a lot of information about all of us - the telephone numbers we call, how we did in school or college, where we work and how much we make. Today, these facts are in many different computers. Each computer knows something about you, but no computer knows everything. But the Internet will change that because the computers can all talk to each other. There will have to be new rules for this information: who can see it and how they can use it. We will have to decide on those rules carefully.
At the same time, it's important to remember that computers can also "hide" information. You can keep your information safe by using a secret password or number. Computers today have very good systems for this. Computers of the future will have almost perfect systems. Without that password or number, no one will be able to read what's in your computer. Your personal information will be safer, in fact, than ever before.
Yes, there will be problems, but not impossible ones. There will be mistakes, but we will learn from them.
Fifty years ago, Antoine de
Saint-Exupéry, a famous French writer and airplane pilot, was talking about the
airplane, the telephone and the movies when he said that the best things people
have made are all things
that bring people together.
The Internet will be a road to many places. I've had an interesting time thinking about some of these places. And I'm excited to be on that road." Bill Gates
