Where this analogy falls apart is when it becomes slower and more expensive to use the lower layers than the higher ones.

It's interesting how big companies like Xerox and Bell invested a lot into the future (PARC, Bell Labs) and even created new inventions that we use every day. How do such forward-thinking companies grow irrelevant?

It's kinda crazy how much money gets thrown around by an org you wouldn't think twice about. If a group of engineers from HN got together and secured a deal like that, they could easily retire with that kind of money.
