The end of innovation

I heard someone say the other day that everything we need has already been invented. Yeah, right.

Back in the stone age someone invented the wheel, then sat back and said, "Life is perfect now. I have everything I need." Until winter arrived and it was decided that heat might be a good thing, so fire was invented.

From the beginning of time, people have assumed that everything necessary has already been created. Walking through the aisles of a superstore like Walmart or Target you might assume that to be true.

But innovation is problem solving and as far as I can tell, people still have problems.

So if you want to invent something new, figure out what the real problem is first then find a way to solve it.
