Bill Gates on software innovation through collaboration
In December 2007, the BBC News website published an essay by Bill Gates on “The skills you need to succeed” in today’s digital technology world. In his thought piece, Gates pointed out that people now deal with information in almost every job and cited how critical it is to be able to use software tools effectively in the global knowledge economy. He also stressed the importance of science and engineering, and the role of collaboration in software innovation:
Software innovation, like almost every other kind of innovation, requires the ability to collaborate and share ideas with other people, and to sit down and talk with customers and get their feedback and understand their needs.
