- oldgal, on 05/05/2008, -0/+1The obstacles I see are corporations, schools, and personal interests and skills. Most corporations are risk averse - it takes a corporate culture supporting creativity and risk taking to get the good stuff (e.g. Google, G.E....). As we gravitate more and more towards standardized tests for evaluating our schools, we gravitate farther and farther away from encouraging creative thought - at the end of the day it is what you can do with what you know that counts, but that is being discarded in favor of "teach to the test". It is one thing to come up with creative ideas and even a prototype. It is quite another to turn this into a viable product. Folks who like the create-it, make-it-work part are generally not good at, nor interested in the sales, marketing, business end of things. I am hoping to see social networking enable formation of groups that in total make a full deck.
