its exactly the same. I bet there was someone in 1996 who was saying "yeah, you could start a tech company alone in 1985, but today... its too crowded, I bet it can't be done anymore". It can always be done.

I'll accept that point but I still don't think its the same. My thinking is that these companies pretty much grew with the internet, which played a pretty big role in their success and I just don't see the internet growing in that same fashion today.

That said, the way we use the internet today is changing which is why I don't think its exactly impossible but would question how difficult it would be in comparison to 20years ago.
