Entrepreneurs and system designers are both admonished to ensure that their creations address a specific need. "See a need, fill a need" as Bigweld would say. Yet this vision of development needs to be compared to the two greatest revolutions in information-handling of our time: the personal computer and the Internet. Initially, neither of them addressed a specific need. Let me re-state that: when they came into prominence both were solutions in search of a problem, and were described by many as such. However both of them gave users the tools they needed to solve their own problems.
The rest, as they say, is history.
