I thought I'd share this thought provoking presentation by Elevation Partners Director and Co-Founder Roger McNamee. In the presentation Ken describes the decline of Microsoft and the decline in progress of Google.
There's a few startling facts to support his arguments:
- Microsoft share of internet connected devices has declined from 95% to under 50% in 3 years.
- Google's tariff based system for searches is irrelevant on the Smart Phone platform, with Smart phones becoming the dominant internet connected device.
- HTML 5 will lead to new web experiences, where "creativity rules again."

He describes how the market is just starting again, and all of us have an "opportunity to be market leaders."
Better yet, he describes the era to come as belonging to those that "create." The user experience across all devices is about to change, and with HTML 5 we all have an opportunity to create new ways to engage audiences and build new brands.
