"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

Technological advances will one day allow computers to be implanted in the human body — and could help the blind see and the deaf hear — Bill Gates said Friday. But the Microsoft chairman says he’s not ready to be hardwired.

"One of the guys that works at Microsoft … always says to me ‘I’m ready, plug me in,"’ Gates said at a Microsoft seminar in Singapore. "I don’t feel quite the same way. I’m happy to have the computer over there and I’m over here."

Meshing people directly with computers has been a science fiction subject for years, from downloading memories onto computer chips to replacement robotic limbs controlled by brain waves.
