> In fact the speed of innovation is, pretty much, equal to the speed of maintenance. Instead, the most important innovation are the ones that reduce maintenance needs. Automating farms, moving mechanical computation into general purpose processors, simplifying science theories so that people can learn in a semester stuff that took decades to mature... All of those have a tremendous impact. All of those speed everything up, and make room for more innovation to appear.
