Tech wonderland

One thing is for sure, as innovation in technology becomes more and more software and internet driven, it will be access to capital and market share that drives corporate dominance.

Offer it for free and figure out the business model later. That is a tough business model reserved for sociopaths with  virtually free and unlimited capital.

Ideas are cheap and innovation is commonplace. Invention is hardly required. Business ethics are defined by the lawyers.

To customers, brand is increasingly becoming just a muted message of vague security. Switching is an everyday affair.

The ‘new’ means kicking out the ‘old’ as waking hours reserved for LCD screens saturate. It’s going to get tough.

Prediction 1: Very few of the globally successful modern tech companies will survive to the third generation of CEO’s. Its like the old family company- the founder creates it, the second generations grows it, and the third loses it. Sell your shares before there is a change in CEO’s and wait until it is clear that the new CEO knows what it is doing before buying back in.

Prediction 2: Its a good time to get into organic farming or anything that will be less volatile. Hedge

Prediction 3: The smart companies will figure out how to grow the web 3.0 products that don’t require user input – IOT – the more your products do not require LCD user attention, the greater the market size and the less the competition.
