| In the oft-quote phrase from Alan Kay, "The best way to predict the
| future is to invent it."

| There is, of course, the lesser known phrase from Bill Gates(*), "The
| best way to invent the future is to co-opt/buy/steal it."

  I thought Bill Gates' take on it was "the best way to predict the future
  is to reinvent it".
