Reporters have discovered that Microsoft founder Bill Gates predicted Zoom video calls for another 25 yearsBack.Edition
Gates wrote about video conferencing in his 1995 book The Road to the Future."Small video devices that use cameras attached to personal computers or televisions will allowwe can communicate and have much better picture and sound quality at lower prices."
This prophecy describes current realities with extraordinary accuracy. Especially in a pandemic: because of the coronavirus, people had to hold work and study meetings in video call services.
At the GeekWire Summit, Gates was reminded of hisprophecy and asked what would happen next. Bill suggested that after the pandemic, people will not return to the same amount of business travel as they did before the quarantine.
