What’s the next big thing in tech – The Wall Street Journal
DUBLIN – In today's fast-moving and ever-changing tech environment, spotting trends isn't easy. Companies come of out nowhere and grow into billion-dollar businesses in what seems like the blink of an eye. As the pace of innovation accelerates, it can be easy to feel left behind. But, as this article reminds us, we as consumers are ultimately the ones who decide which technologies thrive and which ones fail. Take Uber, for example. The company has grown quickly because it filled a real need and did so efficiently and at a good price. Granted, it's not a profitable business (and shows no sign of becoming one), but the Uber model does show what the path to success may look like for today's corporations. – Felicity Duncan
