I wish I had the attention span to read this in it's entirely. I've for a while now agreed that it seems that most of the large "important" innovations have already been had. Sure, cell phones are getting more RAM and better processors. But in the end, they don't add any genuinely new beneficial features. All of them are still used to make calls and text. And that's just how it seems to be with everything. That any innovation is just tweaking the initial design a little bit. Perhaps my view on the issue will change once I read the entire article, but for now that's my stance. My parting question: What Will It Take For Us To Dream Again??
