Silicon Valley falls short of reaching its potential in terms of the impact it can have on the world. What's feeding the problems are the experiences that the people who are out here, they have and they've had in their life. And I think that's what differentiates this conversation about technology in Silicon Valley from say finance and Wall Street. It's not tackling the big problems where it could have the biggest impact.
This episode was actually recorded on February 18; however, due to circumstances, we had to hibernate Exponent and the episode was never actually edited and posted.
Now that the show is back – for good this time – we wanted to post the “missing episode” plenty of folks have asked us about. There are a couple of dated references, but the content is still very applicable.
In this episode we talk about privilege and whether Silicon Valley is solving the right problems. It’s certainly not a new question, but has it become more pressing in the last few months?
