Personally, I don't see much innovation in the software industry, mostly just reinvention of the same wheels over and over and over in slightly different contexts. Most of the really innovative stuff is locked away in various data centers and all we get are tantalizing glimpses when their developers deign to publish a paper or a measly blog post.

MY REST API serves JSON. Some of us are still innovating.

Yup, a huge step up from SOAP APIs serving XML and RMI serving serialized Java objects ;-)
