When we reached the depths of the recession, one prevailing thought was that we needed to innovate our way out of it if we were ever going to get back to economic health. After all, that's what we've done before.
In the '80s, the birth of the computer helped pull us out of recession, and in the '90s it was the Internet boom that drove growth after another recession. In the early 2000s, it was a boom in housing that drove GDP growth instead of a boom of innovation, although we found out later that housing was a bubble -- and we all know how that ended.
