If someone has a problem they need solved: * Attention span won't stop them recognizing a solution * Numerous solutions won't stop them adopting one * That the developer put little effort into building that solution won't put them off. The real answer is of course that there's a lot of stuff that being built that doesn't solve people's problems people have, either because it targets a problem that doesn't really exist or because it fails to solve the problem it does target. | ||

Of course people will buy software.. but the 80% margins we had of yesteryear won't be there The result of the barrier to entry being erased is that prices will also be driven to 0 as products are commoditized It's hardly worth going into a market when you're 1 of 1000 and profit margins are at 3% Any creativity you add, new spin you put on it, new features, innovation.. all that has negligible cost to copy I don't think we're quite there yet, but this is where it's quickly heading | ||
