Over the next 10 years, I expect many more industries to be disrupted by software, with new world-beating Silicon Valley companies doing the disruption in more cases than not.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My own theory is that we are in the middle of a dramatic and broad technological and economic shift in which software companies are poised to take over large swathes of the economy.
Companies in every industry need to assume that a software revolution is coming.
Just like the Internet has transformed the media industry or the e-commerce industry, the software industry is also being affected dramatically by the Internet.
If every sector of business and society will be driven by software - how does that get enabled? By highly-paid computer scientists funded by risk capital in Silicon Valley? Or by lots of engineers who can build it themselves?
I want to see us remain convinced that software matters in the future.
Look at what Silicon Valley has done - the advance of computers.
In short, software is eating the world.
We who work in technology have nurtured an especially rare gift: the opportunity to effect change at an unprecedented scale and rate. Technology, community, and capitalism combine to make Silicon Valley the potential epicenter of vast positive change.
Corporations have been killing the risk-taking and exploration that makes software great. They have tried to rip the soul out of development.
One of the biggest problems that software developers face is that technology changes rapidly. It is very hard to stay current.
