This isn't directly related to the article (sorry), but reading about how Pantone's CEO didn't recognize the opportunity with the Web did make me think of something else.
It seems like every decade or so a new product/technology comes up that has a gravitational pull for a lot of other products and innovations; a lot of other stuff comes out that revolves around a central product. In the 80s, the central product was PCs. In the 90s, the product was the Internet, and later in that decade the Web.
Is there such a central product/technology area right now? Is it the concept of Web 2.0, or is something else lurking around the corner?

- iamwil 19y agoI think it's in the transition right now. For the past couple years, it mostly has been an exploration of different forms of the web. A lot of people anticipate mobile platform to be next, but things are pretty grim so far--but people make due. RFIDs are another thing that has people excited, as well as 3D printing.
