It's fascinating to me how software companies like Google, Facebook, Apple, and others have had to push the hardware industry forward, because they often feel so loathe to eat their own children.
I suspect there's a huge correlation in there to the net cost of changing hardware compared to changing software code (not to mention the related margins in the businesses).
This can be said for energy and medical industries, too. We are smart enough to solve all the world's problems, but we won't do it until we are backed in a corner and need to.
