I don't think George Gilder would have any interest in GMST, nor would he view it as ascendant technology. Here is a quote from his website (the free portion):
"Because I have been guided by a paradigm over the last several years, I have been able readily to dismiss many of the most touted new technologies, from Zenith HDTV and Time-Warner interactive television to 3DO game machines and Phillips CD-I multimedia, from McCaw TDMA wireless and Nextel cellular compression to pervasive ATM networks. I could instantly embrace the developments that will be shaping the next decade, such as all optical networks, Steinbrecher-Tellabs smart radios, Qualcomm spread spectrum wireless, Stratacom frame relay, Microunity and Chromatics mediaprocessors, Ipsilon and NetStar switches, Tandem servernets, Netscape browsers, and Sun's Java programming language. My paradigm did not trigger a torrent of quarters, or predict quarterly earnings, but it allowed me to find pivotal trends amid a welter of noise." |
