Innovation remains a crucial component of human development as it persistently charges through obstacles and alters our daily lives.
As Theodore Levitt once said, “Just as energy is the basis of life itself, and ideas the source of innovation, so is innovation the vital spark of all human change, improvement and progress.” Yet, has recent modernisation redefined what it means to be human? Have we entered an era where we now lead two lives- that which we experience daily and that which we showcase for our global online audience? What type of innovation are we looking for? Take a minute to stop, reflect, and ponder, “Are we there yet?”
