> What happened the last time that everything changed?

* Hardware era (pre 1995s) -> IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Apple

* Internet era (1994-2001) -> Amazon, Google, Meta, Salesforce

* Mobile era (iPhone+ era) -> Uber, Mobile Games, Youtube, Snapchat, Tiktok, Airbnb

* Cloud era (AWS+ era) -> AWS, GCP, Azure, Snowflake, Databricks and bunch of other data & database startups

AI era (ChatGPT+ era) -> Change is inevitable

Nice breakdown! I would separate the Hardware era between Mainframe era and PC era. I would extend Internet era a bit more, Perhaps 2007 when the IPhone was released.

Edit: I hadn't seen the original presentation yet. I see that Evans already divided the eras like I suggest above.

? That appears to be arbitrary eras then arbitrary companies from that era. Do you think Amazon and Google disappeared after 2001? Do you think databricks is now bigger than IBM?

Change might be inevitable, but I'm not sure your list shows or proves that.

What I wanted to say is every era gave birth to something big.

AI era will get its own winners, but there will be some new big players as a result of this era I think

I don't think that was implied at all, just that the context of the web is what allowed those companies to pop up.

		With each platform shift, some of the old players disappear and some of them become irrelevant - IBM is still with us but no one cares
