“The paramount doctrine of the economic and technological euphoria of recent decades has been that everything depends on innovation. It was understood as desirable, and even necessary, that we should go on and on from one technological innovation to the next, which would cause the economy to "grow" and make everything better and better.

All things superceded in our progress of innovations, whatever their value might have been, were discounted as of no value at all.”
