And indeed, if you were an early adopter, you often gained an outsized advantage. Outsiders & insurgents frequently displaced insiders & incumbents. But now a new kind of power is rapidly concentrating: the power to determine how we connect with each other, how we communicate, & on whose terms.</SPAN><SPAN CLASS="m_-7049343662977883402gmail-Apple-converted-space"></SPAN></SPAN></P>
