Ironic, sure, but it's not really a funny thought.

Just watched it, very inspirational. The "swarm" part is kinda exaggerated by the way. :p Anyway Bill Gates has such a great attitude towards solving these problems in the world, I am very happy he's so passionate in doing what he does, his approaches seem very realistic and helpful.

He probably had all the mosquitos bred then tested them for diseases, as far as I'm concerned, no one will speak out against malaria awareness and no one contracted a disease. Who cares?
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Wow, after actually listening to the whole speech, Bill Gates truly is a great humanitarian and a great speaker. For those of you who don't know, letting the mosquitoes provides for a "memorable" experience. If you just talk a lot, people probably won't remember you, but everybody will remember the mosquitoes.

What he said is really true though. Good teachers need to be rewarded more, and bad teachers need to be punished :/

Uhm I don't think that's what he said. He said that there are good ways for teachers to improve by analyzing what they do wrong and right. If you start punishing teachers you're definately not going to reach the desired effect of improvement. Even rewards tend to have a bad influence on intrinsic motivation which is counterproductive. Making teachers aware of their competence level is what's important, and maybe reward them based on that, but punishment is unethical and counterproductive.

ha, yeah I guess he didn't say it. Misinterpretation on my part :x

however, schools tend to fire teachers based on the amount of time they have spent with that school. So even if you are a great teacher, if you've only been there for a year, the guy that's been there for like 10 years yet teaches like crap will get preference over you.

I think the actions he took was very meaningful, I didn't really know how much he cared for other people until I read this on the news. I know he has his own foundation but wow, this is great.
