One tech narrative that has gained momentum in recent years is that the mobile internet economy is done. The rationale for this narrative is that the tech incumbents of the day — Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google aka FAANG — have deftly transitioned into the mobile age, using their distribution, network effects and consumer loyalty as leverage against would-be disruptive competitors. It leads technology pundits to debate what the next internet wave will be — Voice, AR/VR or something else entirely. Obviously, the growth of new social media services like TikTok and new commerce platforms like Shopify and Square have proven this thinking to be limited at best.
