Technology in the World: End of the Beginning, What's Next? (video)

The End of the Beginning

a16z.com video above published Nov 16, 2018: In his now annual state-of-innovation talk at the a16z Summit in November 2018, Andreessen Horowitz’ Benedict Evans walks through where we are now in software eating the world... and how things may continue to change over the next 10 years.

What's the state of not just "the world of tech", but tech in the world? The access story is now coming to an end, observes Evans, but the use story is just beginning: Most of the people are now online, but most of the money is still not. If we think we're in a period of disruption right now, how will the next big platform shifts -- like machine learning -- impact huge swathes of retail, manufacturing, marketing, fintech, healthcare, entertainment, and more? Especially as technology begins to tackle bigger problems, in harder markets, at deeper (and more structural) levels?

The second round of NAFTA renegotiations began Friday in Mexico City, to rework the trade pact between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, which was established in 1994. President Trump criticized NAFTA during the 2016 Presidential campaign, and has threatened to exit NAFTA unless Canada and Mexico agreed to renegotiations. U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, Mexican Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo and Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland will hold a press conference on Tuesday. The negotiations rotate among the three countries, with the goal of reaching an agreement by the end of 2017. More info: ustr.gov.
