Well, but if one of 1000000 people does something on the scale of google, facebook or wikipedia, this would be enough.

With the internet, ideas scale much better.

Before smartphones, we nerdy white males made stuff.

Now the rest of the world can take over :)

Well, is it possible that problems solved by those things were not the real bottlenecks of real innovation.

But they took away something that had brought about innovation in the past and had a very good chance of brining it in the future....idle human thought.
