Thread Name: BS: Studies in Innovation
Subject: RE: BS: Studies in Innovation
In ways I don't want to happen, this seems a bit of a wet sponge. What do you mean by "innovation?" Putting existing creations together in a different way to resolve a problem not earlier imagined? Or, the actual creation of something completely different than anything that existed before?

An acquaintance at the gallery sold a painting and we were both inviited to a grand afternoon soiree unveiling the piece. It was years ago and a man in his early thirties was beside himself with the creative passion and effort to paint. The lavish estate and wealth came from one product. He had invented the tiny plastic spray tip on so many products we see everyday.

Are Creation, Innovation and Invention the same thing? I've got a gut feeling something is wrong with that.
