The promise of the Internet still holds good, though its fulfillment is likely to take longer than was initially expected, according to Bill Gates, chairman and chief software architect of Microsoft of Redmond, Washington.
Gates, who is on a four-day visit to India, was addressing software developers Wednesday at the campus of software services company Infosys Technologies in Bangalore.
"People have been asking whether it was a false promise--the dreams of the Internet changing education, the Internet eliminating paper in terms of how businesses work with each other, and enabling any buyer to find any seller in the world," Gates said.
