I disagree.

The ideal application:

- uses no memory

- uses no disk space

- is instant

- costs nothing

- and has all the features in the world

- presented in a manner that automatically shows the user only the exact features (s)he cares about

The real-world application, when the developers work for the customer and not for themselves:

- uses almost no memory

- uses almost no disk space

- is extremely fast

- costs next to nothing

- and has almost all the features in the world

- presented in a manner that automatically shows the user only the exact features (s)he cares about

Sorry but isn't it just because we innovate? We innovate without evolution. Does any other species innovate without evolution? Something feels wrong to me here. It almost like it's the exact opposite: shared fiction is what hold us back (though it's probably good from a survival stand point), and innovation is what makes us unique, and it specially happens when there is no fiction but a real search for the truth.
