đ Quâest-ce qui va remplacer Zoom ? (Ben Evans)
Part of the founding legend of Dropbox is that Drew Houston told people what he wanted to do, and everyone said âthere are hundreds of these alreadyâ and he replied âyes, but which one do you use?â Thatâs what Zoom did - video calls are nothing new, but Zoom solved a lot of the small pieces of friction that made it fiddly to get into a call.
Everything can have voice. And though thereâs still a lot of engineering under the hood, it became a commodity.
Video itself will be a commodity and the question will be how you wrap it.
On the one hand, video in healthcare, education or insurance is about the workflow, the data model and the route to market, and lots more interesting companies will be created, and on the other hand Slack is deploying video on top of Amazonâs building blocks, and lots of interesting companies will be created here as well.
The calendar is often the aggregation layer - you donât need to know what service the next call uses, just when it is.
Zoom has done a good job of asking why it was hard to get into a call, but hasnât really asked why youâre in the call in the first place. Why, exactly, are you sending someone a video stream and watching another one? Why am I looking at a grid of little thumbnails of faces? Is that the purpose of this moment? What is the âmuteâ button for - background noise, or so I can talk to someone else, or is it so I can turn it off to raise my hand? What social purpose is âmuteâ actually serving? What is screen-sharing for? What other questions could one ask?

đ Cela ne sert Ă rien de se prĂ©parer au dernier dĂ©sastre. Le prochain sera forcĂ©ment diffĂ©rent (FS)
When something goes wrong, we often strive to be better prepared if the same thing happens again. But the same disasters tend not to happen twice in a row. A more effective approach is simply to prepare to be surprised by life, instead of expecting the past to repeat itself.
Preparing for the last disaster leaves us just as underprepared for the next one.
Because really, what most of us want is to not be taken by surprise again, caught unprepared and vulnerable.
The first step is to accept that you are never going to know what the next disaster will be. Then ask yourself: how can I prepare anyway? What changes can I make to better face the unknown?
Giving serious thought to the range of possible disasters immediately makes you aware that you canât prepare for all of them. ... A good place to start is increasing your adaptability. The easier you can adapt to change, the more flexibility you have.
