People are working on refining good ideas whose origin is often old, but which have problems that need solving.

Sometimes the problems are contextual (latency requirements on the web differ from smalltalk images)

But in general "I have made an improvement to a good idea" isn't sexy. Certainly isn't worthy of the geniuses at worshipped major companies.

We'd rather believe that Facebook has invented a new paradigm than they made a good refinement to ideas that we're working poorly for them.
