Can You Take The Innovation Challenge?
Here is the challenge. When you wake up tomorrow morning before you get out of bed vow to spend your day living a life that doesn’t make use of something that at one time was an innovation.
Well you’ve immediately failed because unless you are lying out on the savanna curled up under a tree you are probably lying on some form of bed - a contraption that someone invented, refined, refined and refined again until the product that you are now sleeping was born.
If you wake up warm and comfortable its probably because you are in house that is heated or cooled, so many innovations here we would quickly lose count.
Its unlikely that you will head out to the woods to collect wide eggs or kill a pheasant for breakfast. Instead you will sit down to food that was bought at the supermarket, food that will be easy and quick to prepare - and may or may not have a lot of nutritional value.
Take a shower before you leave the house and....
Get in your car or catch a bus and....
Well you get the idea.
Virtually everything we do in developed countries uses something that no matter how familiar to us was once innovation.
