Software is one of the best tools we have for dealing with human communication issues (in a variety of ways). While there might not be many iPhone / fb / twitter size jackpots out there (until the next hardware growth enables new opportunities), there’s still tons of human communication problems to be solved.

Software is ultimately about replacing inefficient human communication and we still have a lot of that.

I am of exactly opposite view. Software is about replacing organic direct human communication. Since computers came under roofs streets are empty & local communities died out. Breaking up through electronic channel, creating fake digital public face being examples.
