To me it is like pop music. Once and awhile a band like The Beatles comes along, enamores the whole world for a few years, and then fades from the popular conciousness.

Treating The Beatles like General Motors is where the problem lies. Twitter, Facebook, Snap Chat and their ilk are more like the supergroups of yesteryear than the industrial giants that our investment infrastructure was designed to support.

Bad example. When did the Beatles fade from popular consciousness? They've been outselling most other artists for 50 years non-stop.

Vanilla Ice might be a better example.
