Wow, this is extremely cool. I thought the article was a little fluffy but the end really made me think: "What's frustrating is that all these companies in the Valley, they're ideas for the 1 or 10 percent," Collison said. "You have startups like Uber or Taskrabbit, that's like, ‘Oh, here's something to help you find a driver or find someone to clean your house.' Are they solving real problems?" The San Quentin inmates "were talking about urban obesity, or PTSD", Collison said. "It's a completely different perspective. We actually really need that." That couldn't be more true. There might be an excess of startups, but there are too few solving really important problems. It might take the viewpoint of someone who has been through very hard times to understand what we should really be working on. It's not another GMail replacement app (although that's cool too), it's actually changing the physical world we live in.
