Title
"Gates Analogy: Auto vs. Computer Industry" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin regarding Bill Gates' alleged comments comparing the development of the auto industry and the computer industry. This story was based on a viral joke that was circulating in the early 2000s, playing on the fact that computer technology had improved exponentially while cars had only improved marginally over the last few decades. AuCoin shares General Motors' response, listing ten hypothetical faults of cars if they adopted the same technology standards as Microsoft. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired around 2002-2003.
