In the early 1990s I was an early adopter of dial up AOL. I wanted to research
good stocks to invest in. AOL was busy, I could not get on until after 10:30
PM. I was kicked off. When I got on my niece and sister wanted me to check
something for me. How was I ever going to research stocks?
The answer was right in front of me except I failed to see it. AOL went up
7,000 times since its IPO. I learned my lesson next time I will look right in
front of me.
Later I was traveling with my job. I would go to Pinera Bread and get
something to eat and log onto the WI-fi and look for stocks. Everyone was
doing it. I should have opened my eyes this time. Pinera Bread up 10 times
since then.
Now I am doing apps. I can now know how to control the audio, the camera,
programmatic send gmails, accept MIDI and ASKII inputs from an OTG cable.
What can I do with this combination to make a usable product? I would talk
about this at a bar, My check would come. Could you read it for me, I can't
see the menu. Susan can I borrow your magnavision glasses. I am older now and
cannot see print in the dark close up.
Last night in the bar I was doing that and someone offered me there cell phone.
There is a new popular app that just came out, he said, magnifying glass.
The light on the cell phone came on and the camera focused in close and I could
clearly see the check on the viewer. I could have done this app two years ago.
An opportunity was right in front of me again and I completely missed it.
When will I learn?
