I don't disagree or agree, but it often seems like the economy is 1% actual innovation and 99% phony innovation. For instance, most business apps are all the same app under the hood (e.g. a CRUD app) with the only difference being the type of data being stored. A lot of technology is fundamentally "done" but keeps receiving cosmetic changes presumably so the employees can justify their paycheck and business folks have something to market. None of these are "innovations" despite being marketed as such.
