He raised the bar in many areas.

And made an excellent large business out of it. Twice, or more if you
include Pixar, etc.

It is all about vision and vison-casting. Vision is relatively easy.
Effective vision-casting is rare and extremely valuable.


Contemplating what you've said here. Are you saying finding something
the public really wants is in itself laudable? Apparently much of the
public really wants heroin, cocaine etc., gambling, prostitution,
empty calorie nutritionally toxic foods, ****ty TV shows and Madonna.

No, Arny is saying that finding something the public doesn't yet know it
wants can be valuable, and sometimes laudable, too.

Once upon a time the public didn't know it wanted "the Internet". Now it
can't tell that from the World Wide Web.

Of course not. The context of this thread is technological progress. Please
don't take my comments out of their context.

I don't see where any of those things require special innovation or energy.
In fact, they represent some of the oldest and most backward technologies
around.
