The last century was the age of big corporations created by men drawn to power, who believed they had not just the wisdom, but the moral authority to control and guide entire industries. It was also the age of big, centrally controlled government programs. These too were created by men drawn to power, who believed they had not only the wisdom to control and manage entire nations from the top down, but the moral authority to mold those nations into their image of what was good. The last century was the age of big; it was the age of centralized, top-down control.The information revolution shattered the previous age; replacing its centralized, hieratical power structure with decentralized, distributed power. This new age was created by nerds like Apple’s Steve Jobs, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, YouTube’s Chad Hurley, eBay’s Pierre Omidyar, Digg’s Kevin Rose, Twitter’s Jack Dorsey, Blogger’s Evan Williams, and Google’s Larry Page—all nerds who started businesses that fundamentally changed the world.

Since the computer revolution, when an employee can get any strategic goals of the company on line and when any executive can get any sales or other data at the click of a mouse, managers who transmit information have become BOTTLENECKS. Business itself knew they were a problem in the 1990s and shed hundreds of thousands of managers, but never really could explain why except they were "not productive." Well, this is why: they obstruct the flow of information and computers are quicker.
