Nah. There's a fool born every second. Just 5% of developers actually follow tech news. The rest have allowed their jobs to take over their lives.

If people bothered to pay attention to the past, the world would be a much better place. Google, Apple, FB... wouldn't be this dominant because we would have learned from the recent past.

Source on that 5% figure? Can't find it with a couple of quick searches.
Made an estimate from my personal experience. Simply saying, "only a fraction of developers..." would be a weaker statement.
I consider more accurate statements to be stronger statements.
