This model allows non-IT people to connect to others without asking their IT staff to be involved, which is cost effective and hassle free.

Many colaboration projects get hung up in having IT staff members involved, since the new technology may move toward elimnating unnecessay IT staff members as part of the project.

Of course corporates need to work with the governments of the world to help foster the new tech- but then I feel it will dilute the essence of innovation itself.

When it becomes more viable to innovate in order to sell out, ideas will remain short-sighted. A great example of how this is NOT happening is to look at Twitter- $500m buyout bids from FB and Google, both turned down. Thats a huge message to the world that this tech wants to stay as individual as possible.

There are many investment opportunities offering different-sameness with the intent to be bought out. I have been approached by a few that their sole business plan is to follow a popular model, build a brand name and sell to a giant corp. Sounds good, because 1 dollar could end up as 100, but the balance needs to be there by the Government to make sure that ownership can be maintained.

I personally would not build a company with my blood sweat and tears just to have it bought out and changed because of shareholders.

Collaboration is highly important, but at what price?

Nothing new though; move away from awesome proof of concept standalone technologies and blend them into much everything else.

Title made me chuckle though. You mean in order to innovate we need to work together? Clearly, there’s a crisis going on.
