There's a great Jeff Bezos quote about never being asked what isn't going to change in the next ten years, and that those are really the things you should build businesses around and optimize.

Cars, for example, aren't really changing too much, or at least the need for them. The love of the automobile continues to run deep in Western countries, and even an innovative company like Tesla is just building a faster horse here. The idea of the personal vehicle is become even more ingrained into our lives if anything and we become a more individualistic society. Cars may become smaller, they may become electric, but they will still remain largely close their current paradigm.

Tesla to me is likely to be one of the most successful companies of the next ten years because they are building on a foundation that isn't going anywhere and incrementally improving a key product in people's lives.

Unless we make progress on building the matrix.
Progress? Do you think that is air you are breathing?
