Making the internet a viable tool in everyone’s daily life is something that has been made possible because of people like Bill Gates, among others.
The clip, which shows Letterman asking Gates about the internet’s usefulness, provides an insight on how the Microsoft founder overcame resistance to the concept long before it became an integral part of our daily lives.
Letterman, who wasn’t really impressed, then went on to make some comparisons.
The next question from Gates, about the internet having extended information available, also failed to impress the interviewer.
Letterman, who was exhausted by the Gates’ wit and unnerved body language, finally asked if the internet could help him better.

The clip was viral on Twitter and netizens were quick to react.
Certainly we’ve come a long way since this interview. The internet is today the biggest innovation of mankind.
