At Netflix, We Think You Have To

Something Will Eventually Replace The Internet. But It's Hard To Know What And When It Will Happen.

Technological Revolutions Are Very Hard To Predict. My Favourite Example Is Someone In 1850 Taking Care Of Horses As A Farrier. They Would Have Said, "look, Horses Have Been Part Of Human Existence For 5,000 Years. We Are Horse People. It's Permanent." But All Of A Sudden, The Internal Combustion Engine Comes Along And, With It, Oil Fields And Automobiles, Which Basically Replace The Horse Completely. So We Often Have These Long Periods Of Stability And Then A Sudden Inflection Point.

Tomorrow When You Come To Work, If It Doesn't Make The Customer Happy, Move The Business Forward, And Save Us Money - Don't Do It.
