Sugar Water

jolt-colaAlmost none of the stuff on the radar of the silicon valley echo-chamber is innovative or solves any real human needs. They won't cure anyone of disease, feed a child, improve the environment, or radically improve manufacturing... Pinterest? Quora? Other social apps. It's all a big distraction, it's entertainment... It's all well and fine to pursue these avenues for making money. But don't pretend there's anything really innovative going on, that 50 years from now someone's going to look back like we look back at Einstein, Darwin, or Newton and say 'thanks'. That's from a comment written by one Ray Cromwell, regarding a week-old TechCrunch post about Pinterest -- and I have to admit, it struck a chord. And I'm clearly not alone: lamentations re the paucity of meaningful innovation in today's Valley are growing increasingly common. PayPal founder Peter Thiel, in a recent interesting conversation with Francis Fukuyama, actually questions "whether we?re still living in a technologically advancing society at all."
