Innovation is dead in America. Look at Facebook. There is nothing particularly innovative there. Or clever. Or even intelligent. It's success is just pure luck. And anyone over the age of 25 doesn't have time to wait around for luck. Seems like only kids in dorm rooms who don't need an income have a chance any more.
The fact that luck is the major factor in determining business success on the Internet is discouraging at best. As a friend of mine once said, "The best way to become successful is to lay smack dab down in the middle of the road to opportunity and hope to get run over by a truck."
