39. “Now that the asteroid of digitized
information has hit, the global
economy has changed forever. The
era of traditional, hierarchial
market domination by dinosaur

smaller and faster-moving
enterprises. This is certainly true
now for information-based
industries, and it will soon be true
for more traditional industries as
well.”
