In Bill's famous internal memo, he says "One scary possibility being discussed by Internet fans is whether they should get together and create something far less expensive than a PC which is powerful enough for Web browsing....". Wow, thats smartphones (including Android) and Chrome OS.
He also mentions Search Engines. Google was not even dreamt of 1995!
But having said that, I do think he was a vissionary
