CAN'T BE DONE!
The truly innovative concept deals with that which is said to be impossible,
In my view, all things are possible. Just because no one has, as yet, come upon the right combination of things to bring the advancement about, does not mean that it is forever obscured and beyond mankind's ken. Some where, and at some time in the future, some one individual will realize what is needed to bring the idea forth as a much needed and highly desired item. It can be anyone. It could be you.
When we take time to delve into the maze we call history, we often -with hindsight ? find that the great invention came about because there was a need for the item and what it could do. Some one person, or a group of learned men and women, studied the problems associated with the need and failed miserably in their attempts to find the answer, Then, following, perhaps, less academic paths of questing, someone else has hit upon the proper means of doing the thing, seemingly by chance or by accident, and of doing it well.
This procedure may take place over generations of time. The project can be flubbed time and again and even considered to be thews impossible things which accumulate in man's mind as a major barrier to to his progress.
Our immediate future is a paradise of potential. The greatest inventions of all are yet to be made. Our is a remarkable free society and allows individuals and thinking groups of people groups of men and women to consider ideas which have never before been on the workshop tables of inventive persons.
Our needs, today, are multiple in spite our obvious material wealth Our objective are not always clear but cause man's mind is shrill subject to corroding accumulations of narrow bigotry and ignorance which forever hold him back when he seeks to step ahead. There a social need to be met,by some new procedure of management of human desires and ambitions. We are told we are on the very edge of using up our fossil fuel stocks and a frigid future seems to be our fate, but there are inventions yet to be found which , I think, and , can be and will be solved. The invention on the scene this week is that which is called :Google" and at this a weeks ceremonies making it a stock market entity .will, in moments, make the two young inventors thereof billionaires by money standards. The world is already
been made richer because of the complex and ever increasing nature of their invention. The world has been ?googleized? by this invention and learning, education, and the accumulated fund of all of man's findings is nonviable to all people world wide. Knowledge is now the personal possession of millions of people thworld over who have never had such even a small encyclopedia of man's knowledge and attainment to use in their lives,
Think about this, young people. of 2004! Where do you fit into all of this? What do you find the world needs right now which it does not have? Even if your reply comes out as being silly go with it! Take it as yours.,. work with it and make it available to others. The world needs a good laugh now and then, too. If you can be good at that - go for it. Go all the way!
