In all honesty, it cannot be done. Look at all of the books ever written or movies ever made. The original idea was produced only once and people have been recreating the same scenarios over and over in different cultures, time periods and simply from a different point of view. Even the Wright Brothers took their cues from the birds that they spent hours watching in order to replicate their ability to fly. The idea of innovation is often to build a better or more modern version of something that is already in existence. The question still remains; how does the average person innovate in their world?
- Ask lots of questions. If no one asked questions then nothing would ever change.
Is there a more efficient way to do something? The inventors of the dishwasher, washing machine and microwave should inspire you.
- Why is it done this way and not another?
- Does everyone around the world do it this way?
- Was it always done this way? Advances in technology often mean that your idea changes each decade.
- Who started it and why?
- Did they have time or resource limitations that influenced their design?
- hat is the biggest problem my associate, friends, family and I have with the current design or structure?
