  Definitely dig into ⁦@benedictevans⁩ presentation on what comes after everyone has a smartphone. If you don't believe me that it is good check out the tweets compiled on techmeme. https://www.techmeme.com/...

  The world has 5.5 billion adults. 5 billion have a phone. 4 billion have a smartphone. We've barely begun to grasp the (imho, mostly positive) consequences. Via the must-see @benedictevans presentation: https://www.ben-evans.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  Still playing with ways to post a deck online. Linkedin bought Slideshare and killed it. Last year I posted a video of the slides with a voice-over, but that seemed too controlling - there was no ‘next slide’ button. This year: the images, plus a PDF. https://www.ben-evans.com/..…

  This is an excellent and thought-provoking presentation from @benedictevans, covering where we are, and what might be next when it comes to tech. Do read, and while there, subscribe to his excellent newsletter! https://www.ben-evans.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  People like to chant “break them up” about big tech but that simplistic solution doesn't address key problems • bad people using/misusing online services (e.g. election meddling) • platforms dominating companies that use them (e.g. App Store) • privacy & data collection https://t…

  Fantastic presentation on big tech trends for 2020s • Is there a next tech platform that'll be more ubiquitous than smartphone? IoT, AR, drones been hyped but won't be. • Tech company different from tech enabled ones. Now everyone is online, where are opportunities for latter? ht…

  @maetherial Sure, let's enable ‘data portability’. let's make it really easy for you to export all the data that Facebook has about you - except that's what Cambridge analytica used. So no, it's not easy. it's complicated and there are fundamental trade-offs

  Kind of boring that the next big thing is regulation. But it's true. https://twitter.com/...

  .@benedictevans Tech in 2020 deck is both fascinating and a model of clear PPT design. Also: 175 online mattress companies?! https://www.ben-evans.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  There are 5.5bn people 15+ in the world and 4bn smartphones: @benedictevans via @mrianleslie's newsletter https://www.ben-evans.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  “4bn people have a smartphone; we connected everyone and wonder what the Next Big Thing is, but meanwhile, connecting everyone means we connected all the problems. Tech is becoming a regulated industry, but we don't really know what it means.” https://www.ben-evans.com/...

  Some interesting graphs in here. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  This presentation on tech trends has some amazing data and chuck full of opportunities. Worth the time investment of reading the pdf. https://static1.squarespace.com/ ...

• @benedictevans Benedict Evans on x

  Every year I do a big macro presentation. This year, ‘Standing on the shoulders of giants’; we connected everyone (!), and wonder what's next, but meanwhile, connecting everyone means we connected all the problems. Tech is becoming a regulated industry https://www.ben-evans.com/.…

• @meedabyte Simone Cicero on x

  Monumental piece of work by Ben Evans, though simple to read and understand. He touches s-curves suggesting the next paradigm shift will be in how technology will inject itself everywhere in society and drive the next wave of regulation. Open points abound https://www.ben-evans.c…

• @competitionprof Nicolas Petit on x

  Wow. Tour de force from @benedictevans. 360 perspective on economics of big tech and policy challenges. All antitrusters concerned about echo chambers should read this https://twitter.com/...

• @caro_milanesi Carolina Milanesi on x

  Never seen slides with so few words that say so much! This is amazing https://twitter.com/...

• @ruskin147 Rory Cellan-Jones on x

  This is an absolutely brilliant resource - and I can't believe @benedictevans puts it out here for free! https://twitter.com/...

• @samruchlewicz Sam Ruchlewicz on x

  Definitely worth a read if you work in finance or marketing or tech or really at all. Well done as always, @benedictevans https://twitter.com/...

• @mohamed Mohamed Nanabhay on x

  Really enjoyed this presentation by @benedictevans - good provocation on some of the policy and market issues around AI, tech in China, and content moderation. https://www.ben-evans.com/...

  New presentation from Benedict Evans: “ ‘Standing on the shoulders of giants’ looks at what it means that 4bn people have a smartphone; we connected everyone, and now we wonder what the Next Big Thing is” https://www.ben-evans.com/... Two important (IMHO) slides below : https://t…
