I am encouraged by this advertising companies attempts at designing cars.

The moonshot program seems to me to be either Google cementing it's position forever in the knowledge economy or a desperate scrabble for another hit.

If the latter is true, then I have hope for the future. It means that the giants - Google (+ Youtube), Amazon, Facebook - can fall. They are not on as strong a footing as it seems.

All it takes is...

- One generation of kids to decide to eschew Facebook (or any product it buys)

- Ad revenue declining or another viable internet business model to rise up and replace it

- More efficient / free marketplaces

How is Amazon being mentioned in the same line as Google and Facebook? They don't rely as much on the ad revenue as the other two.
Each line of those bulletpoints was for a different company facebook, google then amazon
