How one of the riches man in the wold started his carrier.

Triumph of the nerds, is a movie about the development of one of the most common thing to own today, the computer. Believe it or not but it all started about 40 years ago, in a garage whit some friends just playing with technology. One thing led to another and one of the boys, Bill Gates, who today is one of the wealthiest people in the world, dropped out of school to join the growing development. It’s fascinating to see the young people so committed to their interest in technology. After their first big hit on the market both of the young boys earned enough money to never have to work for a living again. But their big interest kept them working to build new parts and programs. I loved to watch all this and to learn how Bill Gates, at age of 24 got so rich and successful is very interesting to me.
To see the development of computers that we today use every day makes me think of where we would be today if Bill Gates never where born. Would somebody else invent everything he did or would we be without all those thing?

Very good reflection! Personally, I think Bill Gates and his friend did a good job, whereas we still are using nowadays. But I think if they had never created these things, maybe someone could do it in the future.
For example, Linux is an operating system created by a group of “anonymous” people for free. Would they were created a operating system without Bill Gates?
Maybe, I think “yes”, but We´ll never know it…

Good post and I do agree that it’s interesting how Bill Gates got so succesful. On the other hand I do believe that all this would have happened one way or another with out Bill Gates because he was just a part of all this and there were many other that could have driven this in the similar direction.

The title and ending was very good. I think you used a little bit too long sentences sometimes. But over all it was a good review.

I think your title was catching, and good. I missed something about the rest of the persons involved in the movie, but the part about Bill Gates was good. It’s quite hard to summarize almost three hours movie into only twohundred words so I understand why you left out some. Bye/Emma
