<i>I’d be willing to bet that there are exactly three things on Amazon’s seven year time horizon right now: 1. digital devices and content ecosystems, 2. advancements in shipping technology and infrastructure, and 3. innovations in manufacturing...</i><p>All three items make sense. (The shipping topic didn't at first, because everyone loves FedEx and UPS, but then I realized that Amazon is rather good at biting chunks out of less-competitive industries ancillary to its existing business.) However, it seems odd to mention nothing AWS-related. Does Curtis think that all the issues inherent in running massive compute infrastructure will be resolved in less than seven years?
