Many innovations, for all their progress, leave a sailboat of forgotten goodness behind. And in our race to innovate, we instinctively reject people who hold on to the past. We can\u2019t know that they don\u2019t have a point. Perhaps they\u2019ve pointed out something timeless that we didn\u2019t think about. Is there an innovation that can replace a hug from your mom? Ice cream on a summer day? Is a strip mall a worthy substitute for an open meadow, or the latest Gehry office tower for the Chrysler Building<\/a>? The passion of creation leaves us partially blind; we\u2019re focused so intently on what we\u2019re making that we forget the good things already here, or that our innovations might leave behind.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
