At the time, only three percent of Americans were online. It took a decade for AOL to achieve mainstream success. AOL became the top performing company of the 1990s, and at its peak more than half of all consumer Internet traffic in the United States ran through the service. After Case engineered AOL's merger with Time Warner and he became Chairman of the combined business, Case oversaw the biggest media and communications empire in the world. In The Third Wave, which pays homage to the work of the futurist Alvin Toffler, Case takes us behind the scenes of some of the most consequential and riveting business decisions of our time while offering illuminating insights from decades of working as an entrepreneur, an investor, a philanthropist, and an advocate for sensible bipartisan policies. We are entering, as Case explains, a new paradigm called the "Third Wave" of the Internet. The first wave saw AOL and other companies lay the foundation for consumers to connect to the Internet. The second wave saw companies like Google and Facebook build on top of the Internet to create search and social networking capabilities, while apps like Snapchat and Instagram leverage the smartphone revolution. Now, Case argues, we're entering the Third Wave: a period in which entrepreneurs will vastly transform major "real world" sectors like health, education, transportation, energy, and food-and in the process change the way we live our daily lives. The Third Wave is part memoir, part manifesto, and part playbook for the future. 600 10 $a Case, Steve, $d 1958- 610 20 $a America Online, Inc. $x History. 610 20 $a AOL Time Warner $x History. 650 0 $a Internet industry $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Internet $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Information technology $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Online information services industry $z United States $x History. 600 17 $a Case, Steve, $d 1958- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00408768 610 27 $a America Online, Inc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00713778 610 27 $a AOL Time Warner. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00767448 650 7 $a Information technology $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00973131 650 7 $a Internet industry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977265 650 7 $a Internet $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01766793 650 7 $a Online information services industry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01045958 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119044721.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4182EA7C440811E68E7AD585DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IOMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
