The first is the  Industrial Revolution . The second is the Internet .  Bubble Comparing current AI market to the Internet of  the beginning of this century may be useful.  I remember the dot-com bubble .  A Seed Venture Capital rejected my proposal to  extend the Scalability and Robustness of  Microsoft's Windows operating system.

IBM's headquarter in Armonk, New York Source: Wikipedia I wrote   the first post on IBM's Survival on 2017. Issues appearing in the post were not resolved yet by IBM.  To quote my post " The problem is that IBM does not lead any significant new technologies market ."

I already asked few times the question: Will Google Survive for ten years? I askes it in 2008 , 2011 and 2011 - Revisited .  As far as Google's Survival is concerned, I am less optimistic than I was few years ago. Current Problems Employees' Dissatisfaction The indic...
