Now that Bill Gates has retired my new “wish i was him” is Jeff Bezos. He was interviewed on my favorite radio show, On Point, yesterday where he discussed the future of reading, e-commerce, the economy, and the internet.
Here is the broadcast…
In the world of the Internet, Jeff Bezos is a giant. A pioneer. In the old days, they might have said a god.
He started Amazon.com when e-commerce was next to nothing and the web was still a whisper. Today, Bezos is a billionaire, Amazon is ubiquitous, and the web, well, it’s the way we live.
It hasn’t all been pretty. A lot of bookstores have been trampled. Amazon’s balance sheet was touch and go along the way.
But Bezos is still thinking big. From the way we read, to “cloud computing,” to humans in space.
