It takes more than an idea- it takes perseverance, and the one thing that many people fail to understand is that the only thing constant is change- so by the time you've finished learning a particular computer software program ad are fluent in how to use it- the company producing the software upgrades it, and its time to relearn again. A person needs to have hand tools, and be multi talented to get ahead, unless they are born into a wealthy family and don't have to get their hand dirty to do the necessary work required to keep things going. being able to solve multiple problems and possessing multiple skill sets is a must. Mark Zuckerberg received $200 million from a Russian "Investor" to help get Facebook up and going, he also was friend with the Winklevoss twins- who he later shafted and was sued over the issue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg As for Bill Gates, he shafted everyone he dealt with- he bought the DOS system from the real inventor for a paltry $50,000, and without DOS, window wouldn't work. I am so tired of constantly having to buy new computers because a new version of windows is out and my old computer wont support the new software.
