I'm sorry, but just stop living in your bubble and you'll be fine. There are great people out there doing great things, using technology, they just don't happen to be prominently featured on the site that takes "what can be delivered in two weeks" to new levels. Look for example at the stuff praekelt foundation is doing - http://www.praekeltfoundation.org/ http://www.praekeltfoundation.org/ (videos are short enough for most attention spans), or actually, wikipedia.
