Today, we gathered more resources to use for the animoto. When researching both Gates and Rockefeller, I noticed that both utilized their business knowledge to exploit newly emerging industries; Rockefeller used oil refining, rather than drilling, and Gates utilized the emerging computer industry. Both, also, started companies that could be considered monopolizing and anti-competitive, though only Rockefeller's company had to be dissolved. Ironically, Rockefeller used that opportunity to make himself even more rich, as each of the subsidiary companies was worth more on their own.
