If Bill Gates Had Gone Into The Food Business
By Imran Anwar
What If Bill Gates had Become a Restaurateur
Instead of Making Software?
Imagine if Bill Gates had studied food science instead of computer science. A
world without the Empire That DOS Built would be a very different world...
On these blog pages I have written plenty about Bill Gates supposed contribution
to computing.
(e.g. http://www.imran.com/media/blog/2005/05/stolen-content-from-bill-gates-new.html )
Most people with knowledge of computing will agree that Bill's 'vision' usually
consists of speeches about technologies available on Apple 2-3 years prior, or already commercially known. His biggest "visions"
have been that people do not need more than 640KB of memory on their PCs; the
Internet is a fad, etc.
Quite frankly, if Bill Gates had gone into the food business, most people
buying his food would have diarrhea or food poisoning most of the time - and
they would just get used to it.
Gates would still get rich, by selling repackaged versions of the same food
based on promises of fewer diarrheas and less pain.
