Solve the problem – and then support it by technology to streamline and scale the solution!

The analogy is pretty clear in this case. A lot of people tend to seek a way to use technology without caring about the users will adopt it or not. As long as it is smart and a bright way to think innovation it is sufficient. Subsequently this leads to a lot of projects that fails even before they are in the market.

Premature technologies as social media is today will often attract a lot of buzzing solutions that focus on the technology rather than the usability of the software.

In other cases people and especially investors lack of retrospective prediction is the barrier towards finding the golden opportunities. In other words – intuition must be – and is – an essential part of the assessment. A simple example is how much investors underestimated Skype because they did not take the 45 mio Kazaa users into consideration and therefore turned the idea down because other IP-phone companies were further ahead in terms of development.

NASA is as much a government body as any of this world, and with a multi-billion-dollar budget they are of course compelled to spend it – and keep a lot of people employed in the process. They should be spending their money on innovation and stuff that FOR SURE is beyond the possibilities of individual people and utilise their strength – size & clout – to e.g. go to the Moon or Mars. But of course – full marks to Mr Harrison for his amazing feat!
