The Ice Bucket Challenge is the latest viral craze to hit the internet and we have seen top celebrities dumping ice water on their heads. The craze isn’t just for the celebrities anymore as we have seen Technology CEOs taking the challenge by getting soaked with ice water. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg have all participated in the challenge.
Recently, former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates took on the challenge in his own unique way after accepting a challenge from Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg. He proved to us that he remains the master of tech. He didn’t just raise the bucket and pour on his head the way others did it, he applied the knowledge of what he is known for (TECHNOLOGY).
The Ice Bucket challenge is for charity and it began in America to raise money for the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Association.
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease and Motor Neurone Disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord and can lead to speech difficulties, muscle spasms and even paralysis. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to total paralysis and death.
