Bill Gates changed the face of business with his success in leading Microsoft through the global tech revolution of the last few decades. Now he devotes his time and innovative thinking to fighting global poverty and trying to improve quality of life in developing nations. So his annual talk at the TED conference tends to focus on how technological innovation can help global development. This year, he focused on the dangers of climate change for the world's most vulnerable communities. And he calls for "lots of companies" to work on pushing forward energy technologies, and fast.
