Maybe I'm myopic, or maybe everyone else is. The state of the world seems to show that the vast majority of people, even the smart ones, don't really get it yet. But they will, sooner or later the elephant in the room will be impossible to ignore. Let's hope it won't be too late then. The issue is this: the world doesn't need more 'innovation' - we've already innovated enough to the point of being on the verge, all in the name of 'products' and profit. If articles like 'California has 1 year left of water' doesn't sound alarm bells then take a look around - these kind of news are all over the world. Our only hope out of this is to apply what we already know and 'un-inovate' ourselves so that our children can have a chance of survival. Not for the sake of profit, but for the sake of future generations. And no, the governments, politicians and the like won't do it, they can't, they don't create the world - we do, the creators, the innovators. It is our responsibility to switch focus and really look at how we can apply our knowledge to the real world 'problems'. Pinterest's long term value (50+ years) is zero in my opinion, even though it might create a nice bubble in the short term.
