Triumph of the Nerds Part II

In these new chapter " Triumph of the Nerds Part II : Riding the bear" we are going to talk about the success the Microsoft and other companies like Apple. In personal, this was tough fight between companies so beyond the success, it was about money and power. Some interesting facts about the video is that CP/M was the first operating system created by Gary Kildall and the relation between IBM and Microsoft, that was an interesting history, because IBM didn't have the software just de pieces, believing that the computer industry was dominated by them.
The error that some companies commit is that didn't get that the heart of the personal computer was the software. It was the part that gave life to the computer. The hardware were the body and with the time this madre more sophisticated. Operated Systems are on cellphones or tablets not only on personal computers.
The title of this documentary "Riding the bear", after seeing it I traduce it as metaphor  that no matter how the rules are, you have to dominate them or in this case riding the bear, the bear are the obstacles that a company faces to succeed.
Nowadays, technology is growing up too fast, because practically these new generations they were born with it, so the computer industry demands people to innovate stuff for the next generations.  In conclusion, I think that the success of each company is the fact that the rules of the industry are in constant change, but sometimes we rely too much and we take for granted that no one could won us. So, from my point of view I recommend always be updated and aware of what is around us, I mean the competitors. If you had an idea you need to know how to develop it, even on the marketing sometimes is what stop companies to succeed.
