'E' and 'M' -business represent fundamental change
Yes, there is hype. Yes, some high profile businesses will fail, but when the dust settles both business and society will have been profoundly changed, and far more quickly than we might have imagined.
I believe that we are now seeing change of a nature comparable in the UK only to the widespread introduction of electrification at the end of the nineteenth century. Then there were stock market bubbles and high profile failures, but also fundamental change in both industry and society.
Perhaps the move to 'm' business is equivalent to the move from DC to AC electrical power distribution - facilitating flexibility and wide area use.
