Tech moves in ecosystems.
Each ecosystem is the centre of innovation
and investment for that generation.
The ‘PC’ ecosystem played that role for 30
years: now the ‘mobile’ ecosystem takes
over.

These are ‘PCs’, but not ‘personal computers’: they’re the product of the PC ecosystem.

Fewer cars

We all know mobile is bigger than PCs, just
as PCs were bigger than mainframes or
workstations.
Eventually, PCs supplanted those.
How does mobile supplant PCs?
(Or is computing progress over?)

A tool for real
work: the Friden
Adding Machine
“Electronic data processing
systems did not come about for
the purpose of replacing any type

There will always be a place for
the machine based on mechanical

The future comes looking like something you
can’t use for real work.
These days it often looks like a toy for rich
hipsters.
But the toy gets better.
And the work changes.
37
The toy gets better…
“You can’t do CAD on (DOS, Windows, Web, Mobile)”
37 Source: Onshape
38
…and matches or beats the old ways
“You can’t do video on (PCs, Windows, Web)”
38 Source: Frame.io
39
And work changes. A thousand VPs today…
When we say ‘real work’, do we mean what the business needs, or the tools we have now?
Download data from business
systems - SAP/Salesforce/Oracle
(or a really big Excel file)
Make charts in Excel, copy charts
into PowerPoint & write bullets
Email PPT to 20 stakeholders
“I need a PC, mouse and keyboard
to do my job”
But actually, your job isn’t to make
PowerPoints
And that PowerPoint should be a
SaaS dashboard with live data and
a Slack channel
40
Tools follow workflows, then reshape them
First you make the new tools fit into the old way of working.
Over time, the work changes to fit the new tools
10x better data
10x less typing
10x better data
10x less typing
41
Cloud, AI and mobile devices drive new tools
and new workflows.
Unbundling & rebundling of business tasks.
New connective tissue for the enterprise.

Mobile is not a sub-set of the Internet

Used everywhere
Used much more

And on mobile, the

54
For 20 years, PC internet mostly meant web
browser + mouse + keyboard.
Search (and later Facebook) dominated.
Mobile unbundles the web into apps, apps
into the OS (& other apps), breaks search.
From stability to rapid, ongoing change.
