The thinkers in the innovation space

August 4, 2005 Jean Innovation 1 Comment

InventionDr. Anthon Botha from Technoscene (www.technoscene.co.za) is busy talking about the future. Interesting stuff in terms of strange and new innovations and inventions. What is more interesting, is that we are way ahead in our thinking. And in our ability to communicate our thinking. (It is amazing how people talk about technology and the future while they cannot effectively use powerpoint.)

Of course it is always necessary to know about new inventions, but the real significance lies in the ability to say: “So what?”

I am reassured that we have a :”So what?” that is a niche market: How to help companies and individuals to adapt to the connection economy – the economy where relationships have become critical. Here we combine our research and expertise about futurism, technology, business and human behaviour into a powerfully unique AND ultimately valuable offering.

    My goodness – that is the UGLIEST website I’ve seen this year! Difficult-to-read logo, scrolling text across the page, bad use of colour/background image, way too many links on the left hand side…this is the kind of site I look at and then close…

    What do we take from this? If you have a website, develop it properly. Especially if you are positioning yourself in the “Innovation” space. People are going to look at it and form their perceptions of your business from it: in Technoscene’s case they may well conclude that it’s a university project rather than a serious endeavour.

How Gen Y sees the Gen gap

The 11 March 2010 edition of the TIME magazine had a great cover article on “10 ideas for the next 10 years“.

Africa’s Gift to Silicon Valley: How to Track a Crisis

A report under this title appeared in the New York Times on 12 March 2010. It’s a great example of a few things, but especially of the power of social media, and the fact that innovation (and competition) can come from anywhere these days.
Read the story of how technology developed in the aftermath of [...]

Twitter 10 Billion – quality not quantity

Twitter 10 Billion – quality not quantity

In the last few hours the 10 billionth tweet was tweeted on Twitter. As one would imagine there was all kinds of hype and excitement, as Tweeps with the necesary skills attempted to predict the time it would happen, and I imagine even be ‘the one’?
My last tweet was 9999989724. Wild. Will be at 10 [...]
