Productivity and Technology.
The not so clear connection.
You are a 20 yr old living in the early 1990s a2000snd are attracted to technology, you hear there is this new thing called the internet that allows people to send and receive information through computers, what new thing will you do with this technology, how will you profit from this ?
2000s obvious answer now is to sell books… then sell everything online, then rent your infrastructure, congratulations, you just killed traditional retail and are on route to become the biggest company in the world.
You are a 30 yr old living in the early 2000s and are still attracted to technology, you missed the first big wave of internet startups, but think there is still room for growth, you know how to code in html, php and can setup an Apache server, what do you do ?
The obvious answer now is to make a social network that allows you to share pictures with your friends & family and market it to college students, you might end up killing democracy later ( oops ), you make addicts out of billions of people by exploiting their human instincts , you harvest and sell their private information, you not only not end up in jail, but your company is in the top 10 worldwide and you are a billionaire, nice ?
