Used to buy a Zune. You don't do that anymore. Taxi services. People used to have jobs making maps.

So going through this quickly, the app economy as it's labeled, like jobs and business and economic productivity that comes from apps on mobile devices is absolutely insane. And I'll briefly touch on it later. There's millions of jobs in the US that benefit from this alone, millions globally. Again, all of this kind of intertwines, right? So it's hard to exactly distinguish what is a

phone job versus an internet job. But smartphone manufacturing, there's millions of people who do this worldwide in wonderful conditions. Social media, again, like millions of TikTok alone, you know, cloud service. There are millions of devs.

Speaking as somebody who used to be a software developer and has dozens and dozens and dozens of friends in this industry, these are really high quality jobs. These didn't exist. And that's one of the things to note when thinking about job creation and destruction.

Most of the jobs that are destroyed, not all, most jobs that are destroyed from tech trends are generally not as good as the ones that are created. Obviously, big asterisk there. Not everybody would agree with that if you're working in an Amazon sweat house or whatnot. But like programming, for example, is a really good industry to be in.

And so overall, just some numbers on this that I think are pretty crazy. If you look at these trends. PC, personal computers. In the US, thanks to PC, estimates are we lost 4 to 6 million jobs and made 20 to 30 million, right? We're talking like a 20 million increase potentially. Globally, same thing. Tens of millions of jobs increased. Going to internet. Again, hard to exactly quantify.

There we go. Uh, millions of jobs destroyed because of the internet. Right. Um, and then we're making tens of millions. It continues to benefit essentially every business on the planet. Globally, hundreds of millions are likely either directly, uh, employed through internet services or benefiting from them. Mobile devices destroyed millions made millions. And so, um,
