Tech Entrepreneur Urges Silicon Valley to Focus on Altruism

Tim O’Reilly, the entrepreneur, investor, and book publisher, is urging young entrepreneurs and engineers to stop spending so much of their time making frivolous software and instead start using their work to make a difference in the world, reports the Los Angeles Times.

Mr. O’Reilly said that Silicon Valley has strayed from its original passion and idealism to fuel innovation and has fallen into a habit of what he calls the “mad pursuit of the buck with stupider and stupider ideas.”
