At a recent meeting, we were discussing Internet services, past and present. I then made the comment that many of the ideas we are coming up with now were already trying to sell back in 2000, that we shouldn’t be jaded and knock down ideas, just because they didn’t work then.
I don’t know where he got it from, but one of the guys put up a slide from 1995. It was a good laugh, if scary. Except for the krappy artwork, obsolete gadgets, and Nokia’s ancient logo, the concept could have been worked up yesterday.
Then I said that back then, we really believed in what we thought the future would be like. Now, we need to ‘re-believe’ all those old ideas.
Heh heh.
C’mon, Charlie! How can you write that, and then not post the slide? Go find that guy, erase the logo, and let’s all enjoy the irony.
