Most revolutionary things take some time before people realize that they are revolutionary.
- Google launched in 1998, people realized how revolutionary it was by around 2000.
- Facebook launched in 2004, it took till about 2007 for people to realize how game-changing its going to be.
- IPhone launched in 2007, and within a year (after 3G + AppStore was launched) it was clear that this is game-changing.
My point is: It could very well be that the next game-changer is already out there and we just don't know it yet. What could it be? Well I don't know... Google self-driving car? Khan Academy? Square? Your guess is as good as mine.
- AVTizzle 15y agoThe new hardware platforms are each going to give birth to their own frontiers of opportunity. Bezos' TED Talk on "The Next Web Innovation" alluded to how each innovation would allow for new innovations. I'm looking at new hardware like watches (Pebble), SmartTVs, and maybe Google Glasses if can be accepted culturally (more so than bluetooth headsets have been) as all potentially amazing new canvasses for creation. Highly recommend this TED talk. It's amazingly optimistic and paints a beautiful future for technology innovation: http://www.ted.com/talks/jeff_bezos_on_the_next_web_innovation.html http://www.ted.com/talks/jeff_bezos_on_the_next_web_innovati...
