  I also had the same thought about Apple's recent WWDC, but at the same time, there are complex techs being implemented behind those fancy graphics too. I don't know what to make of it. But, what is it ? Are people going out of innovative ideas that can actually do something meaningful for the society ?

  If people have limited vision and all they got out of that keynote was “emoticons” and “selfies,” then there is a big problem with the direction of people. You do realize that a large number of computing advances were created to support the playing of games right? Still other advances were the result of trying to make kids movies. For years, gamers drove the video card industry. Now look at what GPUs are doing for machine learning and other important areas. People like you are frustrating because they seem to lack any vision or imagination. They’d see the original iMac as a colored gimmick; failing to recognize at the time the implications to society (suddenly everyone wants a computer in their kitchen or living room because it’s so “cute.”) Or the touchscreen; I am sure you were one of those who failed to see the advantages over a hardware keyboard. And the pattern repeats: “emoji and selfies.” And, with that, you reveal a complete failure to understand how the future happens.
