IBM did it in 2005, what Amazon is doing now in 2020
The intelligent shopping cart 2005: https://www.networkworld.com/article/2351877/ibm-s-high-tech-shopping-cart.html 2020: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/14/amazon-rolls-out-shopping-carts-that-eliminate-checkout-lines.html Whenever something good and innovative comes out of Amazon, I look at it with a lot of skepticism because I know how toxic and innovation-killing Amazon is as a company.
IBM did shit.. it couldn’t make one consumer ready product in last few years (Watson should have been Alexa)
IBM doesn't work in the customer space. That was a deliberate move.
Except we own the patents. 😎 IBM does a lot of stupid things. The patent strategy is not one of them.
Some companies were ahead of their times. Many of them died, but their ideas are flourishing now or lost forever. Shit happens.
Stop
Shouldn't you be working?
IBM is way ahead of times, they are working on stuff that you will see two decades from now
Lol
Did you know that Amazon payed IBM for ecommerce patent...look it up
Who cares? Pretty sure IBM also made the first smartphone. How many smartphones do they sell today?
