Warren has addressed not investing in tech. Automobiles were a major tech advancement, but car companies always have struggled. Airplanes were also a major advancement but always struggled. A top technology company can usurped by a new company with better tech. Facebook is faddish, requires acquisitions of Instagram and Whatsapp to stay on top, but that not Warren’s idea of creating value.

Automobiles and airlines have always had slim margins and are slow to grow. It shouldn’t take a Warren Buffett to see the differences between this old technology advancement and more recent ones (from an investment perspective).
