Carolyn and Seth kick off the new year with a 2-part series looking at the evolution of the technology industry over the past 15 years and the new paradigm for the industry heading into the future. There are four major drivers that shaped technology from 2007 to 2022. This episode looks at the first two: the growth of technology into a major industry that demands regulatory attention and social scrutiny, and the historic financial scenario where incredibly cheap capital allowed a higher degree of speculation on business ventures.
