$200 Laptops Break a Business Model - NYTimes.com

$200 Laptops Break a Business Model - NYTimes.com

I know that autos are many times more complicated, but there is something to be said for disruptive technologies. Many have been co-opted by the Auto industry, but there is a chance for some serious changes in the near future. While PCs cycle is maybe a couple few years, cars go much longer than that. Add in government regulation and the massive amounts of capital needed, it will be slow going. However the new technology introduced at the auto show may upset the current hegemony of the auto industry. Tesla, that Chinese battery/car company could change the way we drive. The question is how fast can the auto industry as we know it adapt.
