As I get older, I have been looking forward to slowing down some. I really can't call this work, because I am doing pretty much what I have always wanted to do and that is writing. Every day brings new opportunities and I look forward to seeing what new surprises are in store for me. Every day now for many years, I have been talking with CEO's of startups and they all want to start their conversations the same way. And on, and on in that vein until I call a stop to the conversation.
Truth be told, nothing is new.
It has already been done and furthermore, nothing is likely to revolutionize the industry. In the past couple of days I have been pitched several ideas, and some of them seem promising but only time will tell. Instead, TeraBeam systems can send signals more than a mile through the air, using a proprietary combination of laser and telescopic technology. While this appears to be straight out of Star Wars, it is also an application whose time has come. When pressed to explain, Gilder said disruptive was a code word meaning he thinks the company has the potential to revolutionize the communications industry and its economics.
