What a wonderful time capsule. Thank you, 60 Minutes digital team. Excellent reporting from Bob Simon all those years ago. "One of your employees has said that you collect half a gigabyte - whatever that is - of information on your customers every day. That's about 350 floppy disks worth." I laughed out loud.

Considering everything Jeff Bezos has already achieved at this point. And then he still manages to be so normal, as in relatable, friendly, practical with no pretensions. I've never met a billionaire but I can imagine they would probably be very different. And what he has done for his business was pioneering and he is a genius at that.

Hmmm...I like him. In the 25 years since this was filmed we've seen most of the things happen that they said couldn't happen here. Amazon somehow took the place of Kmart, Sears, Barnes and Noble and even Walmart- I wouldn't have ever dreamt that could happen back then.
