Google Compared to Mainframes
October 23, 2014
I read ”Peak Google.” I found the analysis interesting. You can work through the 2,000 word write up as your time permits. I want to highlight one facet of “Google may be toast” analysis.
The hook is a chart that shows how mainframes were eclipsed by PCs. This is the first time I have seen the fortunes of Google compared to those of the mainframe.
The suggestion is that upstarts will capture and dominate Google in native advertising. Okay.
But the comparison to the mainframe sector? Ouch.
