Tools != Technology..

The tools could be the same any "mortal" of us techies use, but the technology created using those tools can be something cool, creative and different.

The problem is not in the "status quo" of the tools, but in what problems and in what way its aiming at something that can be amusing and exciting, like the Wonka's Chocolate Factory to the next generation of kids.

You need to be cool to get the guys that will built the next gen of tech, and with time, tech companies loose their sex appeal, because they become a boring piramid, looking for profit; because after the IPO, you have a board of the same-old-same-old and have to deliver profits to the stock market.

Its a like a couple, in the beginning everything is exciting and new, but with time, given they repeat the same things, the same routine, theres nothing new anymore, and the glow of the beggining just fade away

Anyway, its the institutionalization effect, if you follow the same path, you will get the same results.. Its the law of impermanence, that anything grow old and dies someday
