Depends on your definition of "significant breakthrough". Technical breakthroughs are what Kay values, and that's OK. But to suggest they're the only kind of breakthroughs is myopic. Startups can, in their best incarnations, change human behavior and the way we interact with our world.
- nikki93 10y agoTo call it purely technical is also myopic IMO... The GUI/typewriter change the previous post talks about is a paradigm shift much like in Kuhn's scientific revolution literature. Some neat aspects are paradigm shifts in like music production or other art, which is yes technical but achieves aesthetic end points and is about the human-tool relationship.
