Can you imagine how awesome the startup environment was in 1985? At that time, all the words, short, cool, almost any. Com domain you want to be able to get. All you have to do is just ask. Do not even need a domain name statement to spend money. This great opportunity lasted for several years. In 1994, one author of Wired noticed that mcdonalds.com was useless, he had registered for the domain and then tried to sell it to McDonald's, but the other side's ignorance of the internet was so hilarious that it was later Become a "connection" on a story.
The Internet was still a completely open and unknown area. Become a pioneer in the X field easily. Consumers have almost no expectations, and the threshold is very low. Be a search engine Open shop! Launch amateur videos! Of course, all this is the year. Looking back now, it seems that ever since a wave of pioneers has developed all the possible frontiers, leaving the new entrants to us as if there were only a few bumpy stars. Thirty years from now, the internet has become overwhelmed and overwhelmed by apps, platforms, devices, and much more than the attention and millions of years to come. Even if you racked their brains and think of another micro-innovation, who will pay attention?
But if we think about what we've achieved in the past 30 years online, this affluence still seems weird. We have: anytime, anywhere contact with family and friends, on-demand, customizable news streams, scalable 3D maps covering most cities around the globe, encyclopedic voice queries, movies on pocketed tablets , Shops sell almost everything and things arrive the next day - just six of the thousands of achievements.
But ... But there is a problem. Nothing happened on the internet. The Internet is still the beginning of the Internet. If we can go back into the 30 years and look back on today, we will realize that most of the greatest products used by people in 2044 have not yet been invented by 2014. At that time people looked at the holodeck wearing virtual reality contact lenses, downloadable avatars, and artificial intelligence interfaces, and then said, oh, at that time you did not have the "internet" (or Their other definitions) ...
Is such that. Because from our point of view, the greatest online thing in the first half of this century is right before us. All these incredible inventions, the fruits of the equivalent of the 1984 domain name, are awaiting the crazy dreamer who says, "Nobody ever told me that's impossible."
Now 2014 is the best time to do something on the internet. Looking at the history of the world, there is no better time than invention for inventions. Like today, there are more opportunities, more openness, lower barriers, higher return on risk, better returns, and greater positive moments are unprecedented. It is this moment. At the moment, it is the moment those guys look back memories of the past lament, "If you can go back to life then just fine!"
Over the past 30 years has created an incredible starting point to build a solid platform for the development of truly great things. However, the coolest thing has not been invented yet. It will not just be "better"; it will be different than it is now.
You may not realize that today we are facing a real new field completely open. This is the best time that mankind will have to open up.
It is not too late to start a business now.
