"If you can't break it, try harder. If that doesn't work, whack the shit out of it."
You are 100% correct in your observation that tinkering leads to innovation. I think that just means that we're going to see different kinds of tinkering in the future.
When I was growing up, that meant overclocking chips because you didn't like the speed of your machine. Today that means jailbreaking an iPhone because you don't like Apple's rules.
I would have much rather been breaking iPhones than XTs when I was growing up :)
