The Internet is abuzz today after Bill Gates published an image on his Facebook page and a link towards his website with the text "15 years from now, most people in poor countries will be able to take classes online." It's a sound goal and it's perfectly doable, but in the image posted on Facebook the operating system is Ubuntu.
As a former Microsoft CEO and the founder of what we call today Windows, you might think that he would pay a little more attention towards his message, but this particular detail has slipped past the radar of the ones posting on Facebook, unless he did that himself, which would be even funnier.

Is that your definition of "First World"?
My definition of "first world" is the set of countries that were formerly considered to be allied against the second world "Soviet Bloc" countries. Now, I'd be more likely to use "developed nations" most of the countries that were formerly called "first world". By the definition of developed nations as those having highly developed economies and technological infrastructure, the United States still qualifies as a "developed nation".
I've kept a job these last 7 years, my wife has had a job whenever she wanted one within 2 weeks of starting to look. Some people I know haven't been able to find the jobs that they want, but I don't know anyone willing and able to work that's just sitting at home. That includes my mentally ill, high school dropout brother in law.
