I didn't write anything about humility. That you refer to the 'advertising industry' instead of the 'technology industry' proves my point, no? technology of the 50s and 60s: transistor, television, satellites, computers, hard drives, solar cells, optical fiber, integrated circuits, arpanet, ... not technology of the 50s and 60s: "Light up for a Lucky! The best cigarette you've ever smoked!"

Cigarettes are technology. They are referred to as "nicotine delivery devices" in the tobacco industry. Magazines are technology. Billboards are technology. If google is part of the "technology industry" then you could say there is no real delineation between the two industries. It seems like we're either making technology for advertisements or we're using technology to advertise.
