I sometimes wonder though if the pendulum has swung too far from the big corporate, big science model that dominated when Silicon Valley was born. I don't know if a decline in startup quantity or even quality would lead to fewer innovations. Maybe national or corporate labs could pick up the slack. I think the low rates of entrepreneurship among young people these days (it's true, startups are flashy but entrepreneurship is declining on the whole) speaks to something being broken with the current model.
