“Just look at the industries that software-driven companies have taken over in last decade: In publishing, Amazon and its Kindle destroyed Borders and flipped the industry’s financials on their heads; In movies and music, Netflix and Apple’s iTunes displaced Blockbuster and Best Buy, not to mention the local record shop and the CD and DVD themselves; In photography, Shutterfly and Snapfish supplanted Kodak, only to be handed their own walking papers by Facebook and Instagram. Software stands at the threshold of even more explosive growth as it will continue to reshape entire industries. The million-dollar question is: What’s next? There are several industries that are on high alert.”
