Very true, but let's not belittle their innovations due to the problems that came with them. All new technologies will introduce unintended consequences in spite of the efforts of the inventors and innovators to provide something good. Cars were lauded as a clean invention because it stopped horses from leaving their crap on the roads. Nobody realized that air quality would suffer. All technologies and innovations will have unintended consequences that come out of left field and nobody would have predicted. Who at the early stages seriously thought that they'd cause people to have email overload and issues with spam from the invention of email? They were creating a new communication tool, like the phone, but in many ways more flexible and better.
