Are you sure putting a man on the moon isn’t “trivial and unimportant” too? A lot of effort for not a lot of payoff.

It help us win the Cold War over the Soviets -- I do not consider that trivial.

Hence my point. What is derided as trivial isn’t; what isn’t trivial is too often derided thereas. Ability for anyone to cheaply share text & photos is not trivial either — instant worldwide publishing cheap-unto-free is the fulfillment of the right to free speech.
