I think its unfair to state that the tech leaders of today are to ingenuity what the Kardashion's are to talent. Look at Elon Musk. The guy not only brought us a way to easily pay for things he brought us a very good electric car and SpaceX. Branson is paving the way for space flight. Apple made the cell phone indispensable.

I agree that Engineers are not celebrated today as they were back in the 19th century but don't think that what we engineers build these days does not matter as the conversation ends up being one of those generational battles where the old guys start complaining about the "youth of today"
