He is an interesting man because he is the developer of microsoft.
When he was young Bill Gates loved board games and has always been competitive in everything he did. He is an intelligent guy and got into lots of trouble at school.
When Bill turned 13 he was sent to Lakeside Preparatory School. His parents hoped it would be a challenge. At the school he made friends with Paul Allen, who would become his future business partner.
When Bill was growing up computers were large and complicated. People didn't have laptops and tablets like we do today. Computers were only in big businesses and they used to fill whole rooms. Imagine having a computer filling your lounge.
His school, Lakeside, purchased a computer for students to use. Bill Gates became interested in it and from that day on they became his life.
In 1975, Gates flunked out of Uni and set up a company. He called this company Microsoft. It 1980 this changed for the better. Microsoft made a deal with IBM The deal was to provide the MS-DOS operating system on the new IBM PC. This would change computing.
Then Gates began to develop other programmes such as Microsoft office. We all use this everyday!! I even now have a microsoft PC tablet.
In 1986 his company's stock was worth $520 million and Bill Gates owned 45% of this! Imagine that ... $234 million. Bill Gates was the richest man in the world.
Bill Gates is inspirational. He has changed the world. Without computers, without microsoft life would be much more difficult.
I couldn't research, write or present this speech!!
