Our takeaways:

  • Web3: “All the old problems, in exciting new ways”
  • VR/AR: “The technology can always get better… but that doesn’t guarantee universal appeal”
  • Mainframe installed capacity still growing
  • Lessons from the past: “who made more from the deployment of cars, and who made more from car-commerce - Detroit, or retailers?”
  • Dominic was thinking of Mary Meeker’s monster “Internet Trends” presentations; we look forward to being completely intimidated by the scale of the 2021 edition when it drops
