36、y can go from zero to hero in a very short time.ASome years ago, when the Google Books project, which aims to digitise all of the worlds printed books, was getting under way, the two co-founders of Google were having a meeting with the librarian of one of the universities that had signed up for the
37、plan. At one point in the conversation, the Google boys noticed that their collaborator had suddenly gone rather quiet. One of them asked him what was the matter. “Well,“ he replied, “Im wondering what happens to all this stuff when Google no longer exists.“ Recounting the conversation to me later,
38、he said: “Ive never seen two young people looking so strained (震惊的): the idea that Google might not exist one day had never crossed their minds.“ And yet, of course, the librarian was right. He had to think about the next 400 years. But the number of commercial companies that are more than a century
39、 old is vanishingly small. Entrusting the worlds literary heritage to such transient (短暂的) organisations might not be entirely wise.BCompared with nay librarian friend, we have the attention span of newts.

40、he current corporate giant. At the moment, the four leading monsters are Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon.

41、l, all this proves is that in the technology world one can go from zero to hero in a very short time. (Or, in Apples case, from hero to zero and back to hero again in 36 years). Some of the industrys greatest executives understood this very well. Andy Grove, for instance, who led Intel for 11 years,
42、 was famous for his mantra “Only the paranoid survive“. For many years when he led Microsoft and before he embarked on saving the world Bill Gates appeared to have the same sentiment tattooed on his forehead. And in both cases they turned out to be right: though Intel and Microsoft are still signifi
43、cant companies, their dominance has ended. The processors that dominate the market for mobile devices are designed by ARM, a Cambridge company, not by Intel; and Microsofts monopolistic (垄断的) grip on the desktop computing market turned out to be a wasting asset.DWe understand pretty well the factors
44、 that determine the fortunes of companies that make things people buy which is why, for example, one can predict that Apple wont be able indefinitely to sustain its huge profit margins on its iDevices. Likewise, its pretty easy to predict where Amazon is headed: it aims to be the Wal-Mart of the web
45、, and is therefore likely to be around for quite a while. Google has a well understood and currently profitable business model and a huge technical infrastructure but ultimately is vulnerable (难预防的) to a well-resourced competitor armed with better search technology.EThis leaves Facebook, a company t
46、hat has one billion products (called users) and earns its living by selling information about them to advertisers. Given that holders of Facebook accounts dont pay for the service and are therefore free to depart at any point youd have thought that its long-term durability would be questionable. And yet lots of informed and canny (精明的) investors disagree. They appear to regard the company as a sure-fire bet.FThe two key fa
