I’ve been thinking about this chart ever since I saw it earlier this week (H/T: Azeem’s Exponential View). It is just fascinating to see BlackBerry’s revenue trajectory even as the iPhone launched and began to take share.
Of course, these charts happen all the time with major shifts. In every one of these cases, the leaders involved attempted to cling on to the old reality and refused to accept the new one.
There are many versions of this chart playing out right now as we transition into the AI era.
And the game right now for everyone building technology is to learn from these and embrace the new reality.
Either you get it.. or it gets you.
