TED Confessions: Changing the World Actually Kind of Sucks
ASTRO TELLER SAYS that tech visionaries are a myth created by the “Silicon Valley hype machine.” Which is strange considering most people would consider Teller one of those tech visionaries. As head of X, formerly Google X, Teller is responsible for projects like the self-driving car and Google’s efforts to connect the world through Internet-enabled balloons. These so-called moonshot projects are the stuff Silicon Valley hype machine dreams are made of.
