Like the ancient Greeks who hung on the words of the Oracle at Delphi, tech industry watchers take note when Bill Gates speaks. And like the advice from the Greek Oracle, Bill Gates’ statements sometimes contain a helping of ambiguity.
Here’s a snippet from a transcript of a recent meeting between Bill Gates and some top tech industry bloggers:
Q) Are there things on the horizon that will bring more transparency to government?
A) It should be interesting to watch online video in upcoming presidential election. People will try to outdo one another to be the online hip guy.
The internet has made it difficult to run a regime that runs on secrecy. Government is already benefiting. Government isn't open to competitive forces. All things good or bad will come more slowly to government.
Hmmm.
