Microsoft's founder Bill Gates and his wife Melinda Gates betray or predict the former prediction that "the real world is different from the one we imagined once."

◆ 1: Africa is the youngest continent in the world <br> The Gates first mentioned that the median age of people living in Africa is the youngest in the world. The aging of people on the planet is progressing, and in North America the median age is 35 years, but in Africa it is 18 years old how wonderful. The fact that the number of children born in the poor sub-Saharan countries is high can also cause instability of people's lives, but Gates and his cousin will say that young Africans will shape the world ahead thinking about.

Melinda Gates said that if sub-Saharan Africa invested heavily in human capital health and education, sub-Saharan Africa's share of the world's workforce share will double by 2050, hundreds of millions They insist that people will be able to live better. Mr. Melinda also mentioned the importance of educating girls, stated that if women were able to receive better education, they would lead to a lower infant mortality rate and higher income.

◆ 2: Support for preventing criminal investigation and preterm birth can be made possible by development of private DNA DNA appraisal <br> Bill Gates has been able to analyze the criminal who was unresolved consecutive murders over the decades by private DNA analysis service He told the scientific discovery that the child's premature birth could be prevented as a result of analyzing the data of the private genetic testing service "23 and Me" after touching the matter arrested on the basis of. Researchers who analyzed more than 40,000 gene samples from 23 and Me found the link that women who tend to prematurely give children have genes that can not properly handle nutrients called selenium in the body.

Although premature birth affects many people, people interested in preterm birth are surprisingly thin, Melinda Gates pointed out. While the cause of premature birth is often unknown, on the other hand, being born as a premature baby not only leads to infant death, but also preterm children tend not to be wealthier than normally-born children, We need to work with concern.

◆ 3: People all over the world continue to build buildings comparable to New York City every month <br> When people think about global warming issues people tend to focus on greenhouse gases emitted during power generation. However, in fact the power generation accounts for at most about 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions, the remaining 24% is agriculture, 21% industrial production, 14% transportation, 6% exhausted by construction "Said Bill Gates. The urban population of the world will continue to increase over the next few decades and the world's buildings are expected to double by 2060 and the number of buildings that will construct a new New York City every month is increasing throughout the world That's right.

Although global warming is getting worse, stopping transportation, stopping production, or stopping power generation is not realistic. It is also unfair to require unilaterally developing countries that are not rich enough to unilaterally "reduce greenhouse gas emissions for global warming countermeasures". Therefore, Mr. Bill Gates considers that "innovation" is necessary for measures against global warming, and puts emphasis on investment on environmental measures.

◆ 4: "Data used for research" may include sexism <br> Bill Gates is examining a lot of data every day, but there are few data on women and girls among them I am surprised at points. From the viewpoint of the population, both females and men account for half, but for some reason research data on females seems to be poor.

Melinda Gates said about this issue, "How much women in developing countries earned last year and how much property they own, how much time do their daughters spend on housework at home?" Pointed out that there are very few data. Also, Melinda insists that the question itself for data collection itself may be biased and the data itself is sexist.

◆ 5: You can learn about coping with anger from a boy in your teens <br> Gates who were interested in poverty, crime and relationships about imprisonment, when one met with a prison at a Georgia prison, He said he got an opportunity to speak. Some criminals mentioned there seemed to have committed a kind of crime to harm others, but it is fun and friendly to talk about in fact, "prejudice against the person who committed a violent crime" He said that he was overturned.

There is no doubt that crime is not permitted, but some criminals have committed crime by surrounding environment, education, coincidence, etc. overlapped. The gates believe that young people think about their own emotions and learn about decision making skills through programs such as Becoming a Man (BAM) believe that it helps offenders to correct and they need investment in the emotions of young people It was.

◆ 6: to try to match ethnic units the community, such as also <br> nation that nationalism is useful for globalism nationalism is now in frequent ear from the beginning of the 21st century . Such nationalism seems to be like a thought opposing globalism which regards the earth as a community, but sometimes the interests of nationalism and globalism are in agreement, Melinda Gates says.

For example, if developed countries like the United States do foreign aid, it will lead to strengthening the safety of American citizens abroad. If infectious diseases such as Ebola occurred in Africa, it is important not only for globalism but also for nationalism "to prevent the spread of damage to the United States" in order to promptly provide assistance and suppress the spread of damage. It is something that nationalism should not forget the view that inoculating HIV vaccines to people in developing countries to prevent the global epidemic of HIV and consequently to become their own interests.

◆ 7: The toilet has not changed over the years <br> Mr. Bill Gates has a great interest in toilets and we believe that public health is the most important issue that humanity should address. The introduction of flush toilets is a difficult goal for many developing countries and countries with shortage of water, but many children who have been sick due to water contaminated with manure are dying each year. Bill Gates touches on the possibility that toilets that are cheap and make manure to fertilize will save millions of people in the future.

Melinda Gates also pointed out that places where the toilet environment is not in place will be a major disadvantage for women. It is dangerous to enter the toilet if public safety is not good even if there is a public toilet and it is dangerous for a woman who has suffered from the kidney as a result of having tolerated the toilet and Mr. Melinda has met about. Although there may be few people who seriously think about toilets, it is essential to prepare a clean toilet in order to improve the quality of life for people.

◆ 8: Paper textbooks are getting obsolete Bill Gates argues that "textbooks are a very limited learning method" and even the best text is explained by the user We do not consider how much understanding of concepts and what kind of help is taken into consideration. However, due to the development of hardware and software, recent learning methods have evolved to the stage of showing videos that make it easier for users to deepen their understanding of learning units and investigating comprehension with simple problems . In the future more feedback will be gathered, Bill Gates said e-learning materials will be more convenient and better than ever.

According to Mr. Melinda Gates, nearly half of college students are over 25 years old as of 2019, half of them are learning the university curriculum with occupation. Because there are some learners who have children, it is said that digital teaching materials will bring great benefits to learners as educational methods need to change to more flexible and efficient things than before.

But for women who have not had much rights so far, Melinda Gates asserts that mobile phones will be a powerful support tool for a completely new life. Mobile banking brings the opportunity for women's economic independence, and e-commerce will improve women's inequality such as enabling women to purchase contraceptives etc. unknown to people.

Meanwhile, there are research results that women are not using the Internet than men, and Melinda Gates says that the gap between men and women is due to reasons such as literacy and social norms. It is said that women receive solid education and acquire the latest technology can be an important basis for eliminating gender disparities.
