The countless meetings with absolute assholes who had no interest in learning about the Internet, the single most significant business innovation of their lifetimes.
What do you think will be the next significant business innovation of our lifetimes? While we're on the topic of luck and timing...
You have a severe lack of imagination. Consider that while there will be N business innovations in all, there will only be one that will be the last. So I'd say it's more likely there will be many more than no more.
That is the same magnitude of change that was brought by Printing and Manufacturing. Every other innovation was/is a byproduct of those advances.
But if you may can you please give an idea of the next significant business innovation?
So maybe that "next big thing" is already here. Maybe you saw it, read about it here or heard a couple of nerds talking about it, but chances are you would not care for it, or appreciate it because you would not know it.
The next big thing is the unknown unknown and it takes years for people to comprehend it.
You're asking me to predict the next significant business innovation as big as the Internet?!
