 From the Computer Museum in Mountain View, California, it's theCUBE, covering ACG Silicon Valley Grow Awards, brought to you by ACG Silicon Valley. Hey, welcome back everybody. Jeff Frick here with theCUBE. We're at the ACG SV, it's a mouthful association of corporate growth, Silicon Valley Awards, the 14th annual we've been coming here for about three years. We're really excited to have tonight's keynote speaker on many time CUBE alum, Pat Gelsinger, CEO of VMware. Pat, great to see you. Great to be here, Jeff. Thank you so much. Always great to be on theCUBE and so many good friends from theCUBE and great interviews. Really enjoy you guys, thank you. And we excited for VMworld later this year. We got Dell Technology World coming up next week. Just working on my keynote this morning. So almost ready to go. But you're going to keynote tonight. So what's your keynote tonight on? Well, tonight it's about tech as a force for good. And I'm going to talk about what I call the four superpowers today. You know, in the past we thought of super power like, you know, USSR and the USA. Today, I believe superpowers are far more powerful and their technology superpowers. And the four I talk about are mobile, unlimited reach, cloud, unlimited scale, AI, unlimited intelligence, and IoT bridging from the digital to the physical world. And how those four superpowers are reinforcing each other today. And literally it's our opportunity to improve the quality of lives for every human on the planet as a result of those superpowers. And really how it's our responsibility as a tech community to shape those superpowers for good. It's so good to talk about the four good because there's so much bad in the news lately about some of the stuff that's going on. And you know, it's the two sides of the same coin. Always you can use it for good or you can use it for bad. And unfortunately the bad's been in the news more than the good. But there's so many exciting things going on in medicine, healthcare, agriculture, energy, the opportunities are almost endless. Yeah, it really is. And as I say, technology is neutral. It can be used for good or bad. The Gutenberg Press, the Bible or Playboy? It works for both. And it really is our responsibility as a society. And I'll say even more so today as tech leaders to be that force shaping those technological superpowers for good. You know, one of the statistics outside of my keynote is in the last 50 years we've taken the extreme poverty rate from over 40% to less than 10% on the planet. Right, just stunning that we've lifted two and a half billion people out of extreme poverty. You know, healthcare reach. We've increased the length of life by almost 20 years on the planet over the last 50 years. I mean, these are stunning things and largely the result of the technological breakthroughs that we're doing. And as I say, today is the fastest day of tech evolution of your life. It's also the slowest day of tech evolution of the rest of your life. Of the rest of your life. Pretty interesting. And then God with 5G coming just around the corner it really kind of thinking of a world with infinite bandwidth, infinite compute, infinite store. How do you start to design applications and distribution when you can have all that power. And as you said with cloud really at your disposal you don't have to build it all yourself. You'll leverage companies like you guys to put it in place and I as an entrepreneur don't have to build all that stuff anymore. That's right. It really is impressive that way. Because today, we've crossed over half the population of the planet has a persistent connection to the internet over some form of mobile or PC device. Half the population you can now reach over the internet. I mean, it's just stunning that way. You can rent the world's largest supercomputer for a few thousand bucks. It's just the scale that we're able to now conduct business to be able to develop software to reach customers and truly to change people's lives. And you do a lot of work. I mean, I follow you on Twitter and you're out in the community. You do a lot of stuff with your faith and outside of work to help people. As you see the power that you can bring to this technology, what are some of the inspiring stories that get you up every day when you do some of the stuff outside of your day job? It really is exciting and one of the charities that my wife and I are very involved in is called Missions of Hope International. They work in the slums of Nairobi primarily and we helped to start schools there that literally today have over 15,000 kids in the schools that we helped start. Over the summer, I'm climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in July as a fundraiser to build the next girls high school for those schools. As the girls get younger, they get pulled back into tribalism for five camels, they get married off at young ages and keeping them in school so that they can really advance and become proper members of society versus drug and the tribalism. So that's one of my summer projects is doing that. And particularly in Kenya, we've been thrilled. Things like M-Pesa, and we work with a company called Node Africa to deliver farming and agricultural services. You know, the most basic things that give people market access, give people crop information and literally are lifting people out of poverty in the country of Kenya today. Well, Pat's great work and like I said, follow Pat on Twitter, you're pretty active on there doing good work. Oh thank you, thank you. And we look forward to your keynote tonight and we'll see you next week in Las Vegas. Look forward to it, thank you so much. All right, he's Pat Gelsinger, I'm Jeff Rick, you're watching theCUBE from the ACGSV Awards. Thanks for watching.
