The Long Nose of Innovation
Topic: Business 6:23 am EST, Feb  7, 2008

It's still early, for MemeStreams.

Any technology that is going to have significant impact over the next 10 years is already at least 10 years old.

Innovation is not about alchemy. In fact, innovation is not about invention. An idea may well start with an invention, but the bulk of the work and creativity is in that idea's augmentation and refinement.

The heart of the innovation process has to do with prospecting, mining, refining, and goldsmithing. Knowing how and where to look and recognizing gold when you find it is just the start. The path from staking a claim to piling up gold bars is a long and arduous one. It is one few are equipped to follow, especially if they actually believe they have struck it rich when the claim is staked. Yet the true value is not realized until after the skilled goldsmith has crafted those bars into something worth much more than its weight in gold.

Have you seen There Will Be Blood?
