The Philippines was named one of the top climbers of the decade following the release of the Global Innovation Index (GII) 2023, in which it placed 56th out of 132 economies, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) said.

The index measures the innovation capacity of economies based on two sub-indices — innovation input and innovation output.

...I would argue #innovation can be related to #productivity improvement or it can be completely unrelated. A company could innovate with an ideas like the remote control for televisions (or microlending or air bags). That innovation may not contribute in any way to manufacturing televisions more productively.

Other innovation may be related to improving the productivity alone and add no additional functionality to the customer...

Use first-principle-thinking to think outside the box.

#FirstPrincipleThinking means questioning assumptions and digging deep into the fundamentals. It's not just about solving surface-level problems, but understanding the root causes.

To apply this approach in daily life, start by breaking down complex problems into their most basic elements. Ask "why" until you reach the bottom line.

@RickiTarr 1/ Outstanding topic for discussion. Let’s not confuse business and technology #innovation. They are only loosely connected. Let’s just focus on tech. Here are some thoughts:

(1) Form factor will be much less important. Displays: Augmented reality, laser retinal painting, electronic contacts. Virtual keyboards, non-contact gesture recognition. Compute: New #microprocessor paradigms (PIM, SOC) and distributed virtual computing will drive down power requirements.

@rmattila74 @brocolie The main problem has always been how to amass the #capital required for bigger ventures.

Limited liability corporations were one #innovation. Publicly traded limited liability #corporation was the answer when private LLCs weren't enough. (Originally in the railroad industry BTW.)

Now we have #crowdfunding as well.

To me, the problem isn't hierarchies per se; the problems are permanent hierarchies enjoying a self-reinforcing loop.

This is a very good question, and I'm afraid I can't answer it very well. But I'll try.

First, I agree that the "Great Man" theory of #innovation is just wrong. Innovations crystallize in networks. Furthermore, what actually makes an innovation is hard to define: when we say things like "this is an innovation," we are usually putting a convenient, often post-hoc label on a nebulous, more incremental than radical phenomenon. 1/

This week on Embedded Episode 459 ( https://embedded.fm/episodes/459 ), Prof. AnnMarie Thomas( @AnnMariePT ) spoke with Chris( @stoneymonster ) and Elecia( @logicalelegance ) about playful learning through joy, whimsy, surprise, and meeting new people.

Prof. AnnMarie touched on designing lessons:

#play #learning #playful #innovation #podcast #engineering #embedded

It is, where is joy? How do we make people smile? Where is the whimsy? How can we just be a little bit ridiculous? Where is the surprise? Where is something unexpected? So maybe it is not surprising that I have fallen for magic, because it is all about surprise and wonder. And then the last one is new people. You can play by yourself, but most play involves other people.

And those four elements, I do not care if I am designing a lesson for a five-year-old, or I am designing a lesson for a 95 year old. I want to make them smile. I want to make them a little surprised. It is not just surprised for surprise sake. It changes how you are learning things. When you are surprised, you are suddenly more alert.

I think play, we do not outgrow. I know we do not outgrow play, and I hope we do not expect people to outgrow play.

However, iterating- You want to find problems as early as you can to save money. And building a full scale bridge to find out the design was wrong, it would have been nice if you could have figured that out in software."

A bit of a favourite of mine from when I was recommending analysts to students, here's Marianne Mazzucato outlining her position on why governments need clear #investment plans.

Mazzucato has long been arguing for 'smart' activist government with a better understanding of risk & how #innovation can be supported.

This is a really good summary of her position & I would urge anyone seeking to understand how we could do a better job of government take time to read this!

(Some) Humans still outperform large language models (LLM) during a divergent thinking task. 👾🤖👾

There's quite some discussion about the relevance to (human) creativity of this and related studies. 🎨🎶✒️

One of the things I miss in this discourse is that divergent thinking explains only ±10% of the variance in creative achievement (when controlling for IQ). 🔬

EU as the standard setter for the world, Apple #iPhone edition

#EU #innovation #policy

Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 15 in just a few days, and it’s widely expected to come with a significant change.

The iPhone 15 is heavily rumored to ditch Apple’s proprietary Lightning charger in favor of USB-C charging, marking a milestone for the company by adopting universal charging. The change could ultimately streamline the charging process across various devices — and brands.

The switch would come less than a year after the European Union voted to approve legislation to require smartphones, tablets, digital cameras, portable speakers and other small devices to support USB-C charging by 2024. The first-of-its-kind law aims to pare down the number of chargers and cables consumers must contend with when they purchase a new device, and to allow users to mix and match devices and chargers even if they were produced by different manufacturers.

Did I ever get around to writing an #introduction ?
:scroll: :scroll:
Wow, nope.
I think I was holding off, pending a shift to a self-hosted instance.

So in order to absolutely guarantee that happening tomorrow, let me post one now. 😋

@J12t Interesting. Not new, perhaps? A lot of the work by #meta on both #threads , IG #reels and elsewhere (I'm assuming) is in playing catch-up with #tiktok

#innovation is happening, just... elsewhere...

Die #FDP (CH) lanciert eine #NFT-Aktion, um die #Bundesverfassung (und—ich behaupte—ihren #Wahlkampf) zu feiern.

"Silberschmidt sieht neue Technologien auch als Lösung für die #Klimakrise und den Energiemangel. «Nur mit #Innovation und #Technologie können wir diese Probleme bekämpfen.»"

Die FDP scheint aber, wie ihre kleine Schwester in D, sich nicht darum zu scheren, ob eine Technologie auch ein Versprechen halten kann. 🧵1/3

Creativity and Curiosity: Does novelty-seeking underlie both?

Ivancovsky and colleagues argue this is the case.

It seems plausible to me that novelty-seeking behaviors can contribute to creativity.

But it doesn't explain some of the other routes to creative outcomes: Persistence, mind wandering, incubation, ... (?)

Here's an interesting thought from the Journal of Eugene Delacroix:

'What moves me of genius, or rather what inspires their work, is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough'!

(Saturday, 10th May 1824; Phaidon 3rd Edition, 1995)
