Society, does it influence us?
How Does Innovation Change Society?
Sometimes it moves too fast and some people forget to appreciate something and they move onto the next primary thing.Some people will embrace change within society and respect it, others will refuse the change. Innovations benefit us on a daily basis and we need to appreciate even the small innovations which could make minimal difference to us, but a world of difference to someone else (in a positive way).
If you were to think of 10 innovations which were not around 10 years ago, but are common today, you would be surprised at what appears.
The Application of Ideas
Creativity is the innovation itself but unless its applied and scaled correctly, its still an idea.
Peoples Personalities and Interests have a heavy impact on their innovation success rate
Sustainability
What is its direction for the present / future
How sustainable were we in the past?
Who cares about sustainability?
Why are regulatory bodies / politicians drivers for sustainability?
