”If we were sent back with a time machine, even 20 years, and reported to people what we have right now and describe what we were going to get in this device in our pocket—wed have this free encyclopedia, and wed have street maps to most of the cities of the world, and wed have box scores in real time and stock quotes and weather reports, PDFs for every manual in the world—wed make this very, very, very long list of things that we would say we would have and we get on this device in our pocket, and then we would tell them that most of this content was free. You would simply be declared insane. They would say there is no economic model to make this. What is the economics of this? It doesnt make any sense, and it seems far-fetched and nearly impossible. But the next twenty years are going to make this last twenty years just pale. Were just at the beginning of the beginning of all these kind of changes. Theres a sense that all the big things have happened, but relatively speaking, nothing big has happened yet. In 20 years from now well look back and say, Well, nothing really happened in the last 20 years.
