An exclusive interview with Bill Gates, at FT
The internet is not going to save the world, says the Microsoft co-founder, whatever Mark Zuckerberg and Silicon Valley’s tech billionaires believe. But eradicating disease just might. The story is here. It’s probably behind a paywall. Can’t be helped. FT … Continue reading
