The Day Bill Gates Was Born to Change Technology!
How a curious kid from Seattle grew up to revolutionize computers forever
Bill Gates was born on Oct 28, 1955, and grew up to put computers in every home!
On October 28, 1955, a baby boy named William Henry Gates III was born in Seattle, Washington. Little did anyone know that this curious kid would grow up to change how EVERYONE uses computers!
Young Bill was super smart and SUPER curious. When he was just 13 years old, he wrote his first computer program on a machine the size of a refrigerator! Back then, computers were huge, expensive, and only big companies had them. But Bill had a wild dream: What if EVERY person could have a computer on their desk?
In 1975, when Bill was just 20 years old, he started a little company called Microsoft with his friend Paul Allen. They worked in a tiny garage, writing programs late into the night. Their big idea? Make software that was easy for regular people to use!
And WOW, did it work! Microsoft created Windows, which is still used on most computers today. That's like inventing the door that opens to the entire digital world!
💡 Bill Gates read the entire World Book Encyclopedia when he was just 9 years old — that's like reading 22 thick books about EVERYTHING!
