The nerds who actually made technology possible did not care a bit about money. Now, capital did make mass technology possible. But it cannot have pure innovation, only financial and operations engineering.

I know a lot of nerds/geeks who make technology possible --- I'm one of them. And virtually all of them have a job of some sort working for money.
