Intro to a speech I gave in Harrisburg about bitcoin

in #bitcoin8 years ago

My name is Bob Miller, I'm Vice President of Technical Services at RKLeSolutions
A little over 20 years ago I did a presentation in Harrisburg on 2 technologies that I thought were going to become important, the subject was titled "OS/2 on the Internet"
A large group turned out, they may have been thinking the same thing, later OS/2 forked and became Windows NT which ultimately became the Windows you use today and the internet became the Internet
In those 20 years the internet has changed or destroyed
The music industry
The newspaper industry
The television industry
The travel agency industry
the Stock brokerage industry
the porn industry
Telephony
Video
Mail
Brick and mortar stores
Being lost
Encyclopedias
Blockbuster, Borders, Circuit City, the Tribune, Musicland, record stores – arguably all killed by the Internet
I have the same feeling about this new technology
