It's always funny how articles like this blame the issues on Silicon Valley rather than the consumer who buys into the hype. Instead of telling (showing?) people to look inward and learn a bit of control and moderation, the authors assume we're all cattle who can't help but eat at the trough of silicon valley and SV are the ones are to be blamed rather than media and consumers themselves; why aren't they taking a step back and see how they promote boom and bust?
