And, of course, for every good idea there's a flood of poorly
developed, poorly thought out, or just plain bad ideas out there.
Finding the one good idea among all the bad ones can be as difficult
as implementing it.

About the same as already happens. I've been building start-up companies
for my entire career and I can assure you that there is no shortage of
clever ideas and even designs. But, it takes a significant amount of
effort, time and money to get even the simplest of these to the point
where
it can be useful by a large number of people or where it can be useful
enough and marketable enough to make money.
There's a reason why "engineers" occupy most of the top 10 highest paid
job
categories coming out of college. Somebody has to turn ideas into reality
... and it's definitely not an easy or inexpensive process. Even in the
virtual world of the software industry, it takes $1M and a couple years
just
to get a serious software product to the point where you can even think
of
turning a profit. The real world is tougher still, requiring more money
and
time.
The laws of physics and economics are not easily satisfied.

It's true, how many great ideas would come to life if designs and
