Some thoughts about big companies
The big companies, such as Google , Amazon, Facebook are thriving. These companies only have history less than 20 years. But they have grown to the some largest companies around the world. We cannot follow them. They are growing in the beginning of Web, Internet technology and then grown to the largest. Moreover, they are trying to prevent other companies from competing with them. The good things are some companies, such as Uber and Airbnb are still growing to big companies. The reason it that they are doing something that tech companies does not familiar. They are actually doing business and use the technology. They succeed not because they are using some technology as Google, but they are using technology to change business model. Facebook and Amazon are the same with Uber and Airbnb.
Why should we have taxi? why should we have hotels? Taxi is created after the creation of cars. Why can not we change it? We can, Uber told us the answer.
Still, there something we can change using technology.
As said in some media pointed out, we always refer to internet, computer science or even just software, which is sad. Because it means other technologies, such as chemistry, material are not changing the world worldly notably. However, I believe the next huge break will be in other area. The internet companies, such as Google, Facebook, Amazon will exist as a basic infrastructure as AT&T. The huge innovation will be in other area. By this, I do not mean there are no innovations in these companies. They will, but they are just using similar technologies in different area. This is the same with building build different houses. Their shapes are different, but they are using very similar skills.
There are still chance to build a big companies, but those Entrepreneurs who can create these companies are not those who in the top of technologies. They are in the top of doing business. They need to be brave, as the founder of Uber. They dare to break rules. They need to insist in spread their business no matter what obstacles they are facing.
