I believe that despite all valid criticism, the innovation unleashed in Silicon Valley, from Xerox Parc over Apple, Google, Facebook to Tesla has on balance been a strong force for good, and kept the US vibrant while traditional industries and infrastructure mostly declined.

The unabashed hatred visible in pieces like this interview with Scott Galloway is worrisome to me. It also reveals a growing rift between the thinkfluencers and the creators. Innovation is mostly seen as a threat, and at best just benefitting bad peoplehttps://www.recode.net/2018/11/16/18098008/facebook-mark-zuckerberg-sheryl-sandberg-new-york-times-kara-swisher-scott-galloway-pivot-podcast …

Are tech giants of today doing any innovation? Every time I open gmail, I'm faced with their innovation. Also, recall Juicero. My feeling is that the people who hate the tech industry have been stimulated to do so by the products of the tech industry.

Juicero is one out of thousands of tiny companies with all sorats of ideas that are started and fail. That a thing like juicero exists and fails is not surprising. What is surprising is that it is seen as emblematic for tech.

Juicero was spectacular. It was impossible to ignore! I think the ideal of innovation is great. But how much of it is coming down to us? Besides Tesla. Remember when Apple innovated all those dongles for their port-light laptop? How do you look at that and not despair?

The idea of a Keurig for smoothies is not obviously stupid. It also makes some sense for upscale hotels, airlines, lounges etc. It may have been a bad product market fit to address consumers directly.
