summary
Argues that innovation rarely comes from lone inventors but from teams and historical continuity, using examples: the microchip, computer and Internet have no single inventor; Apple products arrive in waves — “thousand songs in my pocket” (iPod) then iPhone then iPad — each a surprising three‑year leap; worries that recent policy moves have net neutrality gutted and that we’re overdue for a transformative platform; cites Elon Musk’s work as a quantum leap in physical innovation and notes Bill Gates owns roughly 7,000 notebook pages of Da Vinci research.
