Need a new Platform to build on to take us forward
Falling cost of storage - TB 1969
iPod 2007 - $160 TB x 2
Stand alone - Web 1.0 - dotcom - eyeballs
Web 2.0 - mixing - participating
Describe what the curve means (without chasm) - ask where they think we are
cost/risk follow the leaders - flat screen TVs

mp3 to now
itunes made it easy!
Web 2.0 - mashup

Computing power manufactured in next 2 years will be double ALL that has been build up to now!
Low cost comodity H/W made Google possible
Seeing architectures emerging....
the ability to rent power & storage from ‘out there’ at a fraction of the cost of building and maintaining your own.
