JOSEF MANDELBAUM: Ironically, it's two
sides of the same coin.
It changes so dramatically and so quickly that when you get
out of the bed in the morning, you go, oh my God, what just
happened now?
It could be things from world events and politics to a new
innovation coming from a company that
you never heard of.
I need not remind people here that 10 years ago, or 11 years
ago, people thought the search engine business was dead and
was forgotten.
And a little company named Google recreated that.
In the smartphone business today, or the mobile phone,
the same things are happening.
The world is just changing dramatically.
Therein lies the opportunity, and therein
also lies the risk.
You always have to look over your shoulder.
Who's coming after you?
And sometimes, you just can't see them because they come
from every place and every corner on the Earth.
It's exciting.
It's a thrilling excitement, but it's also very
nerve-wracking.
