In case you didn’t know, the Ibm pC turned 30 in August. In the past three decades the notion of the personal computer has evolved greatly, and spawned entire industries. From smartphones to tablets to “the cloud,” the pC was the idea that created them all. On this special anniversary, pCmag asked bill Gates, chairman and cofounder of microsoft, his thoughts on the pC and what it’s meant to the world.

PCM: What was the biggest innovation for personal computing in the last 30 years? bG: the truth of moore’s law has made remarkable things possible. On the software side, I think natural user interfaces in all their forms are equally significant. We just take it for granted now, but the graphical user interface was an amazing breakthrough that made computers dramatically easier for almost everyone to use. today, we’re seeing speech recognition and speech synthesis technologies coming into the mainstream. touchscreens on phones, tablets and pCs have opened up an incredible new world of applications.

PCM: How has personal computing changed people’s lives for the better? bG: the pC has improved the world in just about every area you can think of. Amazing developments in communications, collaboration, and efficiencies. New kinds of entertainment and social media. Access to information and the ability to give a voice people who would never have been heard. but we’re still falling short in some areas. education is one example ... there’s so much more that can be done to utilize technology and engage students, help teachers, and customize learning for each child.

PCM: What about the next 30 years? bG: On a personal level, technology will be more seamlessly integrated into our lives. On a societal level, technology will contribute to solving many of our greatest challenges. In global health, it will advance scientific discovery, diagnostics, and delivery of health services to the world’s poor ... And in many other areas, including energy and the environment, computers already are and will continue to be an essential tool for data collection, analysis, and innovation.
