I can't really tell if you are being serious, but an interesting tidbit from http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/1984.html which looks at what happened in 1984 (when IBM was bigger than Exxon) was this:

   The first Apple Macintosh goes on sale

IBM pretty much "owned" the PC market (it was called the IBM PC market for a reason) and yet the first moves by a company that would later eclipse it were already visible. Always interesting to look back and see how that worked out. Fair warning though, so far it hasn't helped my forecasting ability :-)
