> Which of those companies still have the influence they did at their peak? Facebook is accused of having way too much influence on society as a whole on a constant basis.

GM runs Cruise, which is busy inventing self driving cars and implementing the rules. They are also the largest manufacturer in the US. Hardly uninfluential. > Got any interesting new GE projects on your radar you'd want to work on that you think will be relevant in 20 years? Floating wind turbines, automated grid controls, efficient jet engines, 3d printed jet engine parts, advanced mobile medical imaging at sports events, modular nuclear reactors all seem like they might be relevant 20 years from now.
