Me, I think 'the future' is resource-intensive delivery services predicated on blowing 10x the resources to deliver someone else's product to 1/100th the customer base winking out like so many candles when the venture oxygen tank runs empty. But in the meantime bring me the biggest cup of lemur turd latté you can transport on your Scoot, millennial.

Millennial here, it's a lot more cost-efficient to brew and enjoy my own coffee. Coffee snobbery is rampant these days. It's an excuse to call others 'casuals' and 'plebs' while at the same time it's a masturbatory jerkfest to show off their brand new iCoffee. It's all I see out of my generation. People one-upping others to make themselves feel good. It's pointless. You can call these people 'yuppies' or 'hipsters' but to me they're all the same regurgitated ignorant loaded trash in the end. There's people who realize this and next thing you know you have outrageous business ventures like this. I can't see this lasting long at all. Coffee shops? Sure, OK, it's a social event. Coffee delivery? Ignorance may be bliss but it sure is expensive.

Let's add a question: why? The bubble... which one? the IT one, the startup one. I still don't see why it hasn't come to an end. For example, remind me again why twitter is so valuable? this kind of companies use to be rolled out as a side service of bigger companies with a business model. -Yahoo Messenger (Ads on search engine) -Gtalk (Ads on search engine) .. .. How it was decided the initial price of Twitter? on the basis of how much people are willing to pay. So why are we rolling these services? Because there is cheap money to invest on them... Q: Why is that money cheap and where it comes from? A: Others people money, savings, anything where you receive an interest, they take your money and invest it again under the premise of getting more money.... in the most shiny thing you can find... the most promising.... "The Future" until things break, you loose your money and to pay the banks to back up your savings devaluate the money again so you loose twice.... Thanks Startup Machine!!!! :) Mind explaining the down votes? Edit: clarity

  The GP mentioned resource intensive delivery services with high overheads, outsourced products, and small userbases. Your reply talks about chat apps, which are pretty much the opposite of that. You actually seem to be agreeing, but it is very hard to tell due to the grammatical errors and formatting, which make it hard to understand. So your post, for those who read through it, turns out to be pretty much the same thought as the GP, but with a harder to understand message.
