3. The text.
Bill Gates. The Road Ahead
Chapter 1. The First Part of the Road.
I
wrote my first program for a computer when I was thirteen years old. A
program tells a computer to do something. My program told the computer
to play a game. This computer was very big and very slow. It didn't even
have a computer screen. But I thought it was wonderful. I was just a kid,
but the computer did everything I told it to do. And even today, that's
what I love about computers. When I write a good program, it always works
perfectly, every time. |
kid (ам.) - ребенок; |
The
computer was our toy. We grew up with it. And when we grew up, we brought
our toy with us. Now the computer is in our homes and in our offices ['  fisiz].
It has changed our lives [laivz] and it is changing
them again, because now the computers are coming together to make a new
system. In this system, computers all over the world are beginning to
work together. Our computers will be our telephones, our post office,
our library, and our banks. |
library
['laibrri] - библиотека; |
When
we talk about this new system, we call it the Internet. This book will
try to answer questions about the future of the Internet – what it will
be like, and how we will use it. Sometimes when we talk about the future
of the Internet, we call it the "Information Highway". |
|
* * * The Information Highway, when it comes, is going to bring new ways of doing things. New ways are strange, and sometimes people worry about them, but they are also exciting. I'm very happy that I will be a part of this strange new time. |
worry
['wri] - беспокоиться; |
I've
felt this happiness and excitement before. After I wrote that first program
at the age of thirteen, my friend Paul [p :l]
Allen and I spent
a lot of time using computers. Back then computers were very expensive.
It cost forty dollars an hour to use one. We made some of our money during
the summers, when we worked for computer companies. |
excitement
- волнение; age [ei ] - возраст;cost - стоил; |
My
friend Paul knew a lot more about the machines than I did. I was more
interested in the programs. But I learnt from him. One day in 1972, when
I was sixteen and he was nineteen, he showed me something that he was
reading. It was about a company called Intel that had a new microprocessor
[,maikr u'pruses]
chip. |
learnt
[l:nt] - учился; |
A
microprocessor chip is the part of the computer that thinks. This new
one wasn't very smart, but we wanted to see if
we could write a program for it. In the end, we made
a program for it, but we didn't make much money from it. |
|
The
next microprocessor from Intel came out in the spring of 1974. It was
much smarter than the earlier one. When we read about it, I told Paul
that the days of the big computers were finished. |
|
But it was another
new idea that excited us more. In December of that year, we saw a picture
of the Altair 8800. The Altair was a microcomputer (a small computer)
with the new Intel microprocessor chip. When we saw that, we thought "Oh
no! People are going to write real programs for this chip!" I was
sure of this, and I wanted to be part of it. |
|
It took us five
weeks of hard work, but in the end we did it. We had a program for the
Altair and we had something more. We had the world's first company that
wrote programs for microcomputers. In time we named it "Microsoft." |
|
Starting a company
isn't easy. Sometimes it means that you can't do other things that you
like. I loved college. I liked having conversations and sharing ideas
with so many smart people. But I knew that I had to choose. That spring,
Paul decided to leave his job and I decided to leave college. I was nineteen
years old. |
