Tech in the Time of Covid-19

  > I believe we will see tremendous innovation in health sciences over the next decade, and a corresponding decline in some of the frivolous stuff that VCs have been funding. And that would be a good thing for everyone. This. These are the problems worth solving and investing in. The 2010s was the wild west of useless tech in a race to an IPO gold rush. Rinse and Repeat cycle to scratch ones itch. When something like a pandemic or privacy violations happen, little to no startups bothered to solve such problems for years until a scandal or a global disaster happens. So yes to actually solving difficult world problems using tech, rather than creating frivolous 'tech startups' only for them to greedily raise billions from VCs for a IPO flotation.
