Agreed, it's part of a much larger discussion, with limits on web real estate, getting to the point quickly and being succinct becomes more and more important. There surely are ground breaking innovations every day, but especially lately, the unremarkable ones push them out of the way in favor of quick headlines that spur impulse-driven investment. We all probably can recall how popular an effort to "catapult" very rich and famous people into the outer atmosphere was and still is, while we have already travelled to the moon, decades prior at that.... Whether any of the things getting the most public recognition and funding these days really be considered as "game changing innovation" is the real question raised.
