Because once you find THE answer, you often stop looking. Which explains a lot – from the failure of hugely successful businesses to women who haven’t changed their hairstyle since 1963. Yes, we still have beehives in Albuquerque. :)… and they’re not making some post-ironic comment or retro statement. Wow, the cost of the hairspray alone…But I digress.
Meanwhile, the questions keep changing.
Software? Remember when Microstuff would suck all the air out of a room? Big, bad, all-consuming. Now, it’s Zuckerberg and FB.
“Word Processing?” Doncha you just love your new Wang?
…and isn’t it exciting when you get a letter telegram long-distance phone call email text letter?
The music biz? Been to Tower Records lately?
Home Entertainment? Browsed the shelves at Blockbuster lately?
Transportation? Internal combustion is so yesterday. Or will be soon. Hey, an electric Rolls!
And so it goes. Happy Friday to one and all.
