Monetization != Innovation
Many of Google's projects are advancing the state of the art, if you don't see that I don't know what to tell you.
- hackinthebochs 14y agoI really have a hard time considering polishing an existing product as "innovation". Sure its adding value, but innovation it is not.
- myko 14y agoCars that drive themselves is polishing an existing product? What's an example of something that would be innovating?
- hackinthebochs 14y agoI thought the parent post established that we were referring to their other products (basically everything besides glass and self-driving cars). These products are the ones I was referring to.
- herval 14y agoMost innovation is polishing existing things. Sometimes the polishing is as simple as an "iteration" (eg gorilla glass), sometimes it's a complete leap ahead (self-driving cars). Innovative != absolutely new
- herval 14y agoI'll answer with my default reply for the google case: if someone steals your lunch and starves you to death (eg.: google getting killed by apple or facebook), you innovation doesn't matter. It'll never see the light of day. Pa.: downvoting for disagreeing is childish
