Mitch Kapor is an industry luminary. As Wikipedia states Mitch, “is the founder of Lotus Development Corporation and the designer of Lotus 1-2-3, the ‘killer application’ often credited with making the personal computer ubiquitous in the business world in the 1980s. He has been at the forefront of the information technology revolution for a generation as an entrepreneur, investor, social activist, and philanthropist.”
Mitch appeared at the Community Next to discuss the evolution of platforms. In the video below, Mitch discusses platforms. Unfortunately, I didn’t get all of the slides but if you listen, Mitch describes the slides well so viewing the slides are not necessary.
