This article is full of personal bias and seems to have been written by a person who doesn't understand how technology progresses.
I know there is some truth to the criticism of current tech-startup scene in SV. Most startups are without much potential or without much creative juice (e.g. "we will fill your car's tank for you" type). But there are some which have very large disruptive and creative potential. Elon Musk comes to my mind, to begin with. Boston Dynamics is another.
This article also reminds me a personality trait that makes some people always complain with "whatever happened to good old days". Seems that people like this article author, want us to prepare our meals the way you see a person is seen doing in this video [1].
(Disclaimer: I have no disrespect to the person in that video [1], I just want to point out that I don't want to live like that and I wish to point out a fallacy in the article.)
Such people always seem to complain: Whatever happened to the good old days and good old ways of doing things? All the while, seemingly unaware of the fact that they themselves have become so much used to the technology.
Of course, it is apparent that she doesn't realize that without the very technology and the very technology creators she is so happy to criticize, she would not have been able to put her photo along with the article she has written/typed.
Since when and why has the ability to publish our photos along with articles become so critical for us? and for such writers? So much for the person criticizing the technology creators from self-assumed higher moral ground.
