CHAPTER

Innovations and Perception

This chapter examines how true innovation often arises from integrating existing technologies rather than creating entirely new ones, using examples like Amazon and Edison's light bulb. It discusses the public's skepticism toward groundbreaking inventions and the long journey to recognition, drawing parallels to historical technologies such as cars and airplanes. The chapter also explores the complexities of self-perception versus how others view us, as well as the societal implications of accountability for actions over intentions.
