Steve Jobs: “Technological innovation creates tremendous opportunity for new players”

Some people think our industry is very mature, and they think there is going to be rapid consolidation and very few companies left over. And it's pretty much very predictable from here on out. That point of view I do not share at all. I think we're about one inch down a road that's many miles long, and that every time there's major technological innovation, there's a tremendous opportunity for, for new players, for a reorganization of the industry to occur. And I think that there is certainly as much opportunity for innovation in the next five years as any five year period I've ever seen in our industry. I think there's just as much opportunity for new companies to come along, for new approaches to be taken, and for customers to get much better computers five years from now than they have today. So I'm pretty optimistic. And I think we all need to remember that we're just in the infancy of this revolution.
