- Where does innovation come from?
- How does it happen?
- Why does it happen to us and not to rabbits or rocks?
- What drives it?
Innovation is about combining and recombining of ideas - that virtually every technology we can think of is a combination of other technologies. And so its just a matter of combining technologies in different combinations to come up with new technologies. And there is an infinite number of ways we can do that. Because I am not talking about objects. I am talking about rules, ideas. And that is the fuel that drives innovation. And thats why innovation happens where people can meet and exchange ideas.
