Odds are this guy is not Bill Gates, and therein lies the problem.

Repeat after me:

I am not Bill Gates. I am not Steve Jobs. I am not Wozniak. I am mercifully not Larry Ellison. I do not have [Google,Amazon,Facebook]'s problems. I do not have Google's customer base. I do not have Google's money. I have pretty normal problems, which require pretty normal to slightly extraordinary solutions. Anything these people are willing to discuss in public is an old solution to old problems. When I do have their problems, better solutions will likely exist, in the literature if not in reality.

I'm not a hero, or a prophet to save the world. I'm just a child who - delusion, illusion, assumption, pick a word for me my master - believe "man can change the course of history" Oh sorry master, I sense you said - this is God's work, you are a small, poor individual, do not be a hero -. Accept the truth you say. But master, what if I'm a potential of progress, or a spark of a delusion.
