> The trend of innovation is increasingly becoming grassroots-driven

Please qualify this, I call bs. I acutally think its harder and harder to innovate now a days and we need large companies to innovate because scale is now the battle for any product that makes an impact.

If its a "trend" then you must have historical data that displays the change and im sure you have a hard definition for "innovation" and "grassroots". This is basically a flippant comment that Im not even sure you feel strongly about but it sounds nice.

> down the knowledge acquisition cost to probably bare minimal

you dont understand how important experience is. Books have been around for centuries, all this knowledge was not much more difficult to get decades ago but you still have people cant perform surgery from reading a book or create a rocket ship. Knowledge is about 10% of the solution to any problem.

>individuals are becoming more and more sophisticated

Complicated yes, sophisticated no. Look at music, you think this is a sophisticated society???
