I believe this is the tip of the iceberg. We are at the bottom of the bell curve of technological changes. All the technology that has been created in the last 25 years will happen in the next 5 years. Hold on for the ride and enjoy.

I couldn’t agree more. I’ve been saying this in a different way, but it’s the same thing for quite a while. We are on such a fun tech ride and I’m enjoying it tremendously.
