It seems like 2005 is 1000 years away. There 's no way today you can launch a silly idea like twitter or groupon and expect it to go anywhere. It won't , there is no money to make through advertising, acquiring users means paying levies to google, users' attention is oversaturated and impossible to attract, the tech press is too busy cancelling people small or big, users can't handle an interface that requires more than scrolling, techies care more about the language you use rather than if your product works etc etc. Walls, walls, paywalls, concentration, iron grips is all that's in the horizon. It seems like, out of a million different ideas, well-funded tech has decided to reinvent computers as televisions. Will computer tech become fun again, or one is better seeking greener paths elsewhere?
