“People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn't they? People feared coal, they feared gas-powered engines... There will always be ignorance, and ignorance leads to fear. But with time, people will come to accept their sili”
— Bill Gates
Simplified Meaning:
Change can be scary for everyone. When things like electricity and gas engines were new, people were afraid of them. They didn't know much about them, and that lack of knowledge made them fearful. However, as people learned more over time, they realized their fears were unnecessary.
