Just read an article on the Greatest Innovations of all time. The list (compiled by innovation consultants) includes all kinds of very unlikely ideas like Weapons (at no.1) or Property Ownership (at no. 7) or Participatory Democracy (at no. 9). The interesting thing is that the list has no products – the closest you have are Vaccines and Antibiotics (at no. 11) and Semiconductors (at no. 12).
The point the writer makes is that the most important innovations come from platforms which go beyond product categories and markets.
A very interesting article; I wonder if some of the following should have been there too.
1. Writing (or writing tools – papyrus or whatever)
