Last night MTV (remember when that stood for Music Television?) aired a 30 minute townhouse meeting with Bill Gates. The initial concept for it was supposed to have Billy getting hard hitting questions from average kids from NYC. Instead it came off as a scripted and rehearsed sham. I was looking forward to it but instead it was just all abstracts and vagaries that really didn’t show anything interesting. Billy tried to paint a picture of a world by plagiarizing Asimov, Verne, and Gibson. This kind of has me worried. If the one of the men responsible for developing the future is running out of creative ingenuity, who will take the ball and run with it? I have a strong feeling that man is Apple CEO, Steve Jobs.
