A much-needed pragmatic perspective of the effect of social media on innovation and startups by Steve Case:
It’s sobering to realize that the disruptive startups in the last few years not in social media – Tesla Motors , SpaceX , Google driverless cars , Google Glasses – were the efforts of two individuals, Elon Musk , and Sebastian Thrun (with the backing of Google.) (The smartphone and tablet computer, the other two revolutionary products were created by one visionary in one extraordinary company .)
