Did Microsoft founder Bill Gates really say the words:
"Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one."
Let's find out!
Use a search engine like Google or Bing (which is owned by Bill Gates) and find some sources of information.
For any website you find, look for who is the author. How can you be sure if the author can be trusted?
See if you can find the same information from more than one reliable/trustworthy source.
Who are some trusted sources? Major newspapers like the Globe and Mail, USA Today, or the Winnipeg Free Press are usually reliable (but they sometimes make mistakes too!) Also, you can usually trust news from television/radio stations like CBC, CNN, CTV, or Global Television.
Find out if Bill Gates really said this, and post your findings here! Tell us where you got your proof! |

| You are right, DY. <br><br>Bill Gates did not say this quote. It was taken from a book written by Charles Sykes. Go to Charles Sykes' website to see it. <br><br>Go to Bill Gates' website and you will see nothing about this quote. There are also no reports from any newspapers or news companies that say anything about this quote.<br><br>Sometimes the Internet is used to share incorrect information. You have to be a careful reader and do research to get to the truth! |
