Ah. Now that you mention it, the quote in the context of technology in general makes much more sense. Seeing as new web and programming technologies are created every day, it would be hard to fit everything into those categories, but physical technologies are much different because in order for someone like me to see them, they have gone through lots of stages of refinement and in most cases the idea doesn't get far enough for me to see it. Web apps, however, are relatively easy to make (compared to designing, creating, and then mass producing your new toothpaste dispensing toothbrush).
