Mercury News | 07/27/2003 | Dan Gillmor on the Bad news of the Recent Uptick: "I have no faith whatever in big technology companies' ability to bring sustainable growth back to the valley. Even when the economy picks up again, many of them will simply continue to export skilled technical and back-shop jobs to places like India and China. We have no choice but to participate in a global economy, but are we really ready for what we're setting into motion?"

Though this is probably a good thing - innovation is not created by things standing still but by upheaval. The last few years have seen an upheaval of sorts; now the innovation has to come.
