The obsession Apple and other companies have with the post-PC concept reminds me of Thomas Edison's own obsession with the Nickelodeon. Edison thought no one would ever sit down to watch any length of film beyond five minutes. The idea just baffled Edison to no end and he tried hard to promote the Nickelodeon parlor concept. Obviously, it flopped hard but it didn't stop Edison from trying his damnedest. It seems to me that Apple and company have to have their own Nickelodeon moment where their prized cloud services crater outside of the enterprise markets. In a way, I have a bit of hope that day may be coming sooner rather than later (note: I don't see streaming services as cloud services, these are more about on-demand consumption and not about where or what device the consumption is done). |
