 2007, a company called Google launched an open source operating system called Android.

In 2007, this same company called Google bought an obscure TV company called YouTube.

In 2007, Jeff Bezos over at Amazon.com gave us the world’s first e-book reader, the Kindle.

In 2007, IBM launched the world’s first cognitive computer called Watson.

In 2007, three design students in San Francisco who were attending the World Design Conference that year decided to rent out their three spare air mattressesto  people who couldn’t get a hotel room. And it worked out so well for them in 2007 they started Airbnb

 what else started in 2007? This is a graph of Cloud computing.

Let’s see, the first year it shows up is 2008. That means it started in 2007. 

And in 2007, of course, Intel for the first time went off silicon to extend the exponential of Moore’s Law. It introduced non-silicon materials into its transistors, which turned out to be a huge, huge accelerator.

It turns out 2007 may in time be understood as the single greatest technological inflection point

since Guttenberg invented the printing press. And we completely missed it because of 2008.

So right when our physical technologies suddenly just leapt ahead, like we were on a moving sidewalk at an airport that went from 5 miles an hour to 35 miles an hour, like overnight, and we all felt the ground moving beneath our feet,

right when that happened, all our what Eric Beinhocker calls our social technologies  - the regulating, deregulating, the political reform, the economic reform, the management, the learning you needed to get the most out of this acceleration and cushion the worst --a lot of that just froze. And we’re living in that dislocation right now

 How did all this happen? Basically what produced 2007 is the fact that your computer has essentially five parts. It has the CPU, the processor, the Moore’s Law microchip, but it also has a storage chip.

It has networking, it has software, and it has a sensor. Just as a camera, but sensors are

going everywhere now. The fact is all five have been under Moore’s Law and accelerating.

And in 2007, they all melded into this thing we call “the Cloud.” The Cloud.....The power of

machines has exploded. Machines now have all five senses. They can now think. I spoke at

IBM’s Watson Developer Conference last month. And the day before I got there,

they told me that Watson had just co-written with Alex da Kid a song that in 48 hours

went to number 4 on iTunes.
