And, of course, the internet
Also, this same problem happened in 1995 and 96 with the internet, which was, it was very exciting, but most people just sat around saying, I don't know what that does for me.
Look, there's a great book out now called Steve Jobs in Exile, which I absolutely think is required reading if you're listening to this podcast.
So Kane wrote the book, but it's with Catmull at Pixar and with Dana Lewin, who was at Steve's super good friend and was also at Microsoft.
They all, this book is just fantastic because it explains all of, it encapsulates all of this notion of like building things that people actually need and solve problems.
But it pointed out very clearly, you know, the next was actually the machine that Tim Berners-Lee used to write the HTTP protocol.
Right, so he actually— A Nex machine?
And he used a Nex machine.
That's interesting.
And it's super interesting because nobody knew what this machine was for or what it did.
But then he built that, and still nobody knew what the machine was for or what it did.
Because he's like, well, it's to find the phone numbers and the other researchers and to share papers.
And I'm like, eh.
And I think there was a great example of a company, a Seattle-based company, that was called Cyber Pizza.
And this was like a dot-com thing that didn't even make it to the 2000, I think.
But the idea was it was basically on DoorDash for pizza, only pizza.
And they would basically, you would order, and then they would figure out a pizza place near you and send the pizza.
That was the launch demo for the Next on stage.
They did that, and they had actually pizzas in the back in case it didn't work.
And and I should say for next step or open step.
