I agree, except that it seems dynamism is almost restricted to digital tech. I wish tech would spread its dynamism a little better into legacy industries, and give some productivity gains/disruption to those areas.

there's been plenty of disruption in traditional industries like retail, automotive, media, communications, etc.

part of the problem is that the remaining set of industries is pretty tough to make dynamic using technology simply because the explosive market size isn't there for various reasons. if you wanted to disrupt aviation, for example, a plane takes tens of billions of dollars to bring to market, and an airline requires outlaying billions in capex on planes.

Such a shame. The passenger aircraft industry could certainly stand to be shaken up with some of that "move fast and break things" startup dynamism!

I’m not really saying it should, more of an example.

I do wish there was more dynamism in the US airline market though, the mergers forming the big three were probably a mistake

I do not want my passenger aircraft to move fast and break things thank you very much.

But I understand what you meant

I read Supernaut's comment as sarcasm.

You read it correctly!
