This would be one instance where "you didn't build that" would be true.
This is an extremely hard question to answer. And the narrarator is right, schools usually work against helping people answer this question.
Moreover, it is an extremely privileged society that can even ask it. And there is no doubt that Western Civilization is the only one to achieve it. Take away those foundations, and people won't have to worry about such a question, the answer will be obvious: just trying to survive.
Also, it is why so much respect should be given to entrepreneurs, those people who have the courage to pursue their deep drive. It's an extremely hard and risky undertaking. And it's why I hold big, intrusive, regulatory governement in disdain, b/c that government, made up of petty, envious, individual bureaucrats, is making it even harder on courageous citizens.
Entrepreneurs of certain, especially truly innovative ideas which provide real benefits for society and their users, should absolutely be given respect. But that's not all entrepreneurs by a long shot, just like not all teachers are hardworking individuals who do the job because they love it, some just need a paycheck. Respect the person, not the 'idea' they represent.

I'm happy with the guy who opens a good donut shop near my home, even if it's not "innovative." He's done me a service, and taken risk to do it.
