Why did Bill Gates become a inventor?

Answer 1

Bill Gates, from a well-off family, was enrolled at age 13 in an exclusive college preparatory school where he had the opportunity, courtesy of the Mothers Club, to use computers. He showed talent early, writing programs in BASIC and then later in other languages. He loved how a computer could perfectly execute a set of instructions designed to do whatever you needed the machine to do. By age 16 he was writing his school's class scheduling program. He formed, with Paul Allen, his first business at age 17. With extremely high test scores, he was accepted at Harvard, where he spent lots of time on computers and forged friendships with other students who would later be his business partners. Bill Gates invented computer software not just because of his love of the computer but very much because of his entreprenurial nature and a desire to profit from his work through businesses of his own.
