He's known to go through about 50 books a year and [URL='https://www.cnbc.com/2018/12/03/bill-gates-names-the-5-best-books-he-read-in-2018.html']reads everything[/URL] from memoirs and meditation guides to deep dives on autonomous weapons. There's one kind of book that he thinks is going out of style, though: Textbooks, he writes in his and his wife Melinda's [URL='https://www.gatesnotes.com/2019-Annual-Letter']2019 Annual Letter[/URL], "are becoming obsolete." "I read more than my share of textbooks," Gates says. "But it's a pretty limited way to learn something. Even the best text can't figure out which concepts you understand and which ones you need more help with." Software can be used to create a much more dynamic learning experience, he says. [/QUOTE]
