Mass Innovation and Disruptive Change

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the look-to-the-internets-for-inspiration dept.

bart_scriv writes "The new head of MIT's Media lab argues that societal advances, previously the domain of a small group of individuals, will now become the product of millions of people due to changes in education and technology. He also offers advice to would be start-ups and entrepreneurs, including an argument against instrumentalism: 'The successful will look for fundamental disruptive change.'" There sure do seem to be a lot of creative people doing projects on the web today. What do you folks think of this?

    Honestly, I like technology, but I don't think you should focus on "disruption" as the goal with technology. I think you should focus on producing more technology to do what I want, because my conservative values should override other people's values.

    And if I have my own values?
