ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Computer science graduates will be in greater demand than ever over the next 15 years, Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates says.

Gates addressed University of Michigan students Wednesday in kicking off a three-day college tour aimed at getting young people interested in computer science and related fields.

As part of his talk, Gates demonstrated new kinds of technology, including Microsoft’s new Xbox 360 videogame console, which can also play music and store photos.

Xbox, Xbox what does Xbox and computer science have to do with each other. Showing an Xbox to students in a classroom is a bit like showing hungry people a banquet. But there was some instant karma

“Gates tried to show off the graphics in an Xbox car racing game but had some trouble getting his vehicle to go.

“I don’t think I’m going to win this race,” he joked, as the blue Porsche repeatedly bounced off a wall on a simulated Las Vegas street”

Did Gates’s people actually think this was a good idea? IQ’s must be dropping sharply
