Genuine question: what exactly are the major contributions of MIT media lab? I will admit my priors might be unfair,y hostile and my reaction to current travails a little too schadenfreude-ish.

That's funny. I think "basic inno envy" is a perception of engineers and no one else. People love Jobs more than Grove, and they've never heard of Shockley.

Yes but most media lab people *are* engineers presumably? Or am I mistaken there?

Seems like we like our figures larger than life: they have to be deep visionaries, daring executors, and diligent administrators over their vast empire. Some kinda hero's journey shit...

Still though, I think you're right that visionaries play a big role and get less credit than the implementers. Going with my previous example: people have heard of Jobs / Gates, but almost no one's heard of Kay, Engelbart, etc.
