The document discusses how the technology industry is undergoing a major shift towards a "third platform" of innovation built on mobile devices, cloud services, big data analytics, and social technologies. This shift represents an "inflection point" where the old model becomes obsolete and a new model of innovation emerges. The convergence of trends like declining experimentation costs, social networks, crowd-sourcing, big data, and artificial intelligence are enabling more people to collaborate and innovate in new ways, representing a major opportunity for nonlinear growth at the start of this inflection point.

2. “The Information and Communication
Technology Industry is in the midst of a
"once every 20–25 years" shift to a new
technology platform for growth and
innovation — we call it the third platform
— built on mobile devices and apps, cloud
services, mobile broadband networks, big
data analytics, and social technologies”
Frank Gens, Chief Analyst IDC

3. “We’re at the start of a nonlinear move in innovation
thanks to the hyper connecting of the world —
through social media, mobile/wireless devices and
cloud computing — which is putting cheap
innovation devices into the hands of so many more
people, enabling them to collaborate on invention in
so many new ways.”
Tom Friedman, New York Times Columnist
“This Great Inflection”

4. “To build a new
system you don’t
compete with the
old one, you build a
new system that
makes the old one
obsolete”
