Above is a screenshot from a presentation about the future of tech that [Benedict Evans](https://twitter.com/benedictevans) gave last week at venture capital firm [a16z’s](https://a16z.com/) annual conference. And below is a video of the talk. If you can’t see it, [click here](https://youtu.be/RF5VIwDYIJk).

The talk is positioned as “the end of the beginning.” In other words, here is where the internet and smartphones have taken us, but that’s just the beginning. Quote: “We used to do apartment listings \[online\] and now [Opendoor](http://brandondonnelly.com/tagged/opendoor) will buy your home.”

It’s only 24 minutes and well worth a watch.
