Before you keep going, is this going to be a question of is this a scale economy or network economy?

Yes.

Oh, damn.

Go for it, Jenny, because I don't know the answer.

Yeah, yeah.

Delighted to do that.

So as I've said, I think on other episodes, my understanding as an economist is that ground zero for economic vitality is the strength of the entrepreneurial sector.

So there's a famous economist called Joseph Schumpeter who sort of posited that, and it was different than sort of normal economic theory at the time because it was very dynamic and not sort of mathematical.

And so I believe that very strongly.

And of course, Silicon Valley is a center for that.

So the thing that really interested me was, can I contribute to that in any way?

Is there anything that I can do that helps with that?

And my discipline is sort of,

business strategy.

And so there's a real question about, is there anything useful that business strategy can add to that sort of creative, dynamic effort of all these people?

And I'll cue it up with an example that I used to use in my class at Stanford sometimes, which is that

If you can imagine me holding up two devices.

Right.

So that's the first handheld calculator in the United States, Bomar.
