However, technology tends to make our lives better, and it is important to show that more value lies in trying new approaches, however skeptical one might be about them.

If you are a founder of a company that is trying to sell a revolutionary new approach, you just have to knock on doors, share your vision and sell your product. You gotta hustle!
