This is a bit of a boring analysis without much of a conclusion. As someone from the stone age would say:<p>We&#x27;ve put stones next to eachother, we&#x27;ve put them on top of eachother, we&#x27;ve thrown them at eachother. What more can we possibly do?

I agree with others, the analysis fell flat at the end. But I DO appreciate the recognition that e-commerce companies are essentially retail companies with a website and not tech companies.

For all who would like to know before trying to read:<p>The 14MB pdf linked is actually titled:<p>&quot;Tech in 2020: Standing on the shoulders of giants&quot;<p>Benedict Evans, February 2020<p>In his words:<p>&quot;Every year, I produce a big presentation digging into macro and strategic trends in the tech industry. This year, ‘Standing on the shoulders of giants’.&quot;

All I see on there is painting the Web as a platform for global-scale consumerism, and nothing more.<p>Good work everyone, let&#x27;s pack it up.
