No disagreement Here, a short walk through history show us that, what happened to the Horse whip companies when the automobile was invented? Or the sliderule companies when the Calculator was invented? Most businesses don't understand what they are really doing/producing. If the sliderule companies understood what the product was they were producing they would have been the ones to invent calculators, and computers. Sucessful companies are the ones that set the future not the ones that the future overtakes. Unfortunatly sucessful companies that set the future are the very ones the people condem ie: Mircosoft, Walmart. Mircosoft saw that the world was going to need an operating system so they created one, how be it inferior to the MAC system. But Apple didn't see or acknowledge the future. Walmart saw that the people wanted stuff for less so they gave to the people, they understand their business is to sell stuff for less that people want.
