Internet trends 2018 by Mary Meeker

I strongly recommend taking a look at the presentation. But for people who are not willing to browse almost 300 pages, I summarized her summary into several points which I found interesting.

• Strong focus on easy-to-use product
• AI listen to words almost like human
• Nextdoor
• From buying to subscription
• Alibaba vs Amazon (Alibaba win in China) - similar products
• From 12% to 15% food spending in 25 years
• AirBnB is still cheaper than hotel (but not too much - big difference only in Tokio)
• Big bang of services and mobile apps
• More data -> More analytics -> Better products -> More customers -> More data… (cycle)
• China getting leader in big internet companies (2->9) … USA from 9 to 11 (5 years span)
• Kuaishou
• China - market for mobile games
• Digital grocery store
• 3D foot scan
• Mobile payment are getting common
• Strava
• Decline in email usage (with using Slack)
