Why Uber - Not HP - Is The Future Of Technology - Business Insider | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

Uber, chasing a potential venture capital round of $500 million and a valuation of $12 billion, isn't a technology company, though its legal name is Uber Technologies Inc. It provides a service that matches available drivers to people in need of a ride. Yes, that service depends upon Node.js, Python and a range of other open-source software, but few would classify Uber as a technology company, at least not one in the same vein as an HP or SAP.
