| Who lost wealth by the creation of Microsoft? Please be specific.
In the case of most techonologies, the practical aspects of living become easier, various conveniences become cheaper, thus allowing more leisure time, even or perhaps especially for those who are not wealthy. I do not care for Winblows, but because of its popularity, the cost of computers has decreased, the cost of communication has decreased, and the ease with which information is attained has increased. All of this amounts not only to the creation of wealth, for microsoft and others, but also for a higher standard of living even without adding in any monetary calculation. |
