 ‘Daily Show’: Bill Gates, Twitter-erPosted on Jan 26, 2010
Now that Bill Gates doesn’t have to run one of the world’s biggest companies, he has more time to devote to a few of his favorite causes including, say, trying to revamp the school system at home and fight hunger abroad—you know, just hobby material. Here, he tells Jon Stewart about his post-Microsoft life, as well as how he learned to tweet just last week. —KA The Daily Show:

I agree 100% with DocReality. I bet the bulk of the money will be used to buy computers and to teach programming and Math which in its self is not bad thing, but Bill Gates will use his influence to direct education to emphasize very mostly graduating computer Geeks who will have limited knowledge of history, the constitution, civics etc etc or the ouside world in general.
Report thisBill gates want graduates who will just work like slaves in his industry or similar industries.
I am retired Electronics computer Engineer myself and this opinion is not an expression of aversion against computers or programming.

DocReality writes The Truth.
Mr. Gate’s intentions for Public Schools in America will benefit HE and other wealthy investors FAR more than they will benefit any students or families.
But America has been so educationally negligent, and quick-to-blame the schools for many issues that schools must deal with, that are entirely out of their control, that the cards have been stacked high AGAINST Public Ed for a long time now.
Perhaps much of the American public deserves the educational overcost$, limitations and restrictions
that will naturally accompany the shifting of many, many public schools over to for-profit interests.
Education is destined to go the way of HMO-managed medicine in the US.
There is no other way for it to go.
Enjoy!

Screw this elitist scumbag. He’s another Rockefeller dupe spreading more deception under the guise of ‘charity’.

The most hilarious part of this is that Bill Gates talked about his new Twittering with the same kind of hesitation as older people when they lack confidence in using computers. At least he didn’t ask his kids to post his Twits on his behalf.
