Many people who try to do big bold things in the world find out it's not about the money or the technology: It's about the regulatory hurdles that will try and stop you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The financial world is at the cutting edge of high technology.
Technology makes things faster and more cost-effective, but it's not perfect. It requires you to be as flexible as you can be.
Some people feel that what we're doing makes no sense, that it's just a waste of money. But it's working.
Technology is a bit of a double-edged sword. Used right, it's a wonderful tool, but unfortunately, it makes it easier for a lot of mediocre people to get really crappy ideas out.
If you think the technology is infeasible, you don't worry about what it might do and what its potential is.
Technology requires knowledge and expertise more than it requires money.
Personally, I believe that government, rather than money, tends to be the primary factor limiting the development of new technologies.
The important thing to remember, if you are trying something that is an innovation, is not to think too much about it. Because if you take too long, by the time you get there, the world will have changed. You take a risk, and if it doesn't work, you make a change. We are not betting our lives on it.
Everybody thinks that when new technologies come along that they're transparent and you can just do your job well on it. But technologies always import a whole new set of values with them.
You can have a phenomenal technology with bad people; you're not gonna have much success. You can have mediocre technology with great people; they'll figure out a way to make a buck.
