Over the past 100 years, there have always been some companies that have been lucky, consciously or unconsciously, to stand on the cusp of the technological revolution.Once in that position, even if you don't do anything, you can float forward smoothly with the waves for ten years or even longer.For more than ten years, they represent the wave of technology until the next wave comes. Counting from a hundred years ago, AT&T, IBM, Apple, Intel, Microsoft, Cisco, Yahoo and Google They were all fortunately pushed to the top of the wave.Although they come from different fields, and some of them have declined or are in decline, they have all been extremely brilliant.They were all once global empires that ruled their industries.

People large and small in these companies seem to outsiders to be the lucky ones of the times.Because, although for a company, catching up with a wave cannot guarantee its long-term prosperity; but for a person, catching up with such a wave once in a lifetime is enough.For a trendy young man, the luckiest thing is to catch a big wave.It is difficult to predict the future, but looking at the past and present, we may be able to realize some truths.I would like to use the space of the Google Blackboard to share with you the people and things I have seen and heard over the years.I'll share my thoughts on each wave, each of the companies mentioned above, and what I know about the key players in it.In today's extremely commercialized world, technological progress and business opportunities are inseparable.Therefore, I would also like to mention venture capital firms that indirectly affect the technology wave, such as KPCB and Sequoia, and investment banks that have supported technology for a century, such as Goldman Sachs and so on.
