> Who cares if innovation happens in ink pens if no good novels are written? The people who got ink on their fingers writing bad novels with the old pens. Not every innovation needs to directly impact everybody - and maybe some of those bad novel authors decided to become novel authors because the pens got easier to use and maybe they could have written a good novel. That new thing feeling is pretty darn subjective - smart phones never felt new to me. I used a flip phone and a tablet for a long time, the tablet was basically a more portable laptop - and when I actually got a smart phone it was just a slightly smaller tablet.
