peter: you joined microsoft in 1983. brad: 1993. peter: sorry about that. how has the company changed since then? brad: well, when i joined microsoft had just over 4,000 employees. and today it has 150,000. so the first thing you see is that everything is bigger. when you are big you have to find ways to move quickly in a new form. because obviously moving a big group of people is a lot harder than moving a small group of people. when i joined in 1993, technology was not something you read about every day unless you were sort of a tech geek or maybe an intellectual property lawyer. obviously it has become the single most defining element of our times. we live in a technology era. it means that the world has questions and we need to answer them. it means that people want to understand technology without having to go get a ph.d. in computer science. so part of what i need to do and part what a lot of us need to do and we have a great team that does it is actually serve as translators both to help people understand what the issues are and to help our engineers

peter: net neutrality. stephen: it is this time, really the idea is that everybody should have equal access to the mobility. to move around the space pretty. peter: having found already inequality when it comes to mobility. stephen: i think our world is full of inequality. megacities that have transit deserts where people can't get public transit to go to a job interview. or go to school. the idea is perhaps use the next generation mobility to provide more opportunities. this can also change real estate in cities because mobility, people move from mobility deserts because the rent is low. in the rents is low because it is such a pain to get anywhere. so there are areas in cities that will be fine full potential if there weren't mobility deserts. so if you have a system in which people could move around, whether it is with the car ship or whatever it is and have access to more areas of the city man, it would have a big effect on the real estate market in the cities. peter: stephen baker, in "hop skip go", gi
