THIS MONTH
If you weren’t born in 1955, there was no way that you could be Bill Gates or Steve Jobs building an operating system. You had to be born at the right time to slot into the computer age. I was born six years too late in 1961. I remember having the option to do a subject called computer science at school. I chose geography instead because I spent my early life thinking it was cool to do as little as possible.
And from what I could tell from the other boys who did computer science (yes, I went to a boys-only boarding school) all it taught them was to print out Babbage cards (pictured below). You probably don’t remember those.
Actually, knowing the sensible Australian investor demographic, you probably do!
