Brief Summary of Episode #198
One of my favorite games growing up was The Oregon Trail — you know it, the one you would play on those old Apple II computers.
With each mile my wagon train covered, I anticipated new threats like grizzly bears and disease.

Today’s digital innovators are like the pioneers of the Old American West (minus the threat of dysentery).
