It was the 30s, the social security system.
It was putting the man on the moon.
It was, to this day, banks don't run, railroads don't run.
That is at its core, it's doing mission-critical work.
And so that part, I think, is at its core, it's a business-to-business company.
And at its core, it's about doing things that are really important to the world becoming running and being better.
Yes, secure in this world.
That's like everything.
And in fact, when I started, I almost felt people were looking for what that was.
And together we sort of, in a word, was to be essential.
And the reason I loved that word was, I can't call myself essential.
You have to determine I am, right?
So it was to be essential, even though some of what we did is exactly what you said, it's below the surface.
So many people, because people say to me, well, what does IBM do now, right?
And over the years, it's changed so much.
And today, it's really a software and consulting company.
Consulting is a third of it.
And the software is all hybrid cloud and AI.
That would not have been true, as you well know, back even two decades ago, right?
So it changes.
