    We’ve certainly seen companies fall because they’ve not tried to stay on the cutting edge before

    Best example I can think of is Kodak and digital cameras. They invented it then sat on it until it was too late because they didn’t want to cut into their film scam.

      Nokia. They were at the top before iPhone. They couldn’t catch up with smart phones at all.

      I believe Intel will be another potential example, but we’ll see about that.
