French Taxi Drivers Protest Uber for Days and Want Uber Banned From Paris

This is a very interesting topic to me. What does it mean to real people trying to make a living, as technology forces changes on their traditional way of life?
Also because I am amazed at how big and fast this entire Uber business has grown.
I was in a Taxi in Amsterdam and the driver told me in the Netherlands taxi drivers work for both a taxi company and also for Uber.
Then he asked me why I did not invent Uber?
I replied "good question".
