Why did the web take over desktop and not mobile?
文章先是介绍了,市场中对称竞争与不对称竞争(It shifts the basis of competition.)的关系。然后阐述了 计算机时代的五个阶段(Each epoch was a shift in the means, mode, and relations of computing. )
在此抛出了阶段转变中两个关键性的问题: web 如何颠倒了 pc native software; web 为什么没有颠倒 mobile native software.
第一个问题的答案围绕着 for the network,evolvable 进行(We’re social animals)。 在此阶段 商业模型也随之发生了改变。 可理解为非对称竞争。
第二个问题的答案很明了,Mobile ate the world 且 hah built the whole vertical slice,商业模式也扩展到 IAP 软件订阅等。 可理解为对称竞争。
The main reason I care about the Web is because it's the world's biggest software platform that isn't owned.
