Tech Savvy Business Vs. Main Street Business

I was able to find this article in The New York Times regarding business competition. Big business competitions tend to pick business plans that specialize in technology. This tends to discourage smaller scale companies from participating. There are new competitions that tend to cater to small scale businesses but some tend to be very career specific. The overall question is whether technical business beats main street business.

It's a war of who will ultimately come out on top. Though technical businesses are making lots of money and growing quickly, I still think that main street business it very valuable. A woman mentioned in the article was worried that her salon was no match for tech savvy businesses. She might not be raking in the money but she still is exceptionally valuable and can be seen in competitions as a company with a steady and reliable income.
