Innovation. Let's conjugate the verb form.

I innovate.

You innovate.

He innovates.

She innovates.

We innovate.

They innovate.

We all innovate.

Have you innovated today?

You see, if we don't innovate (every day) and if we don't have tangible evidence (OK... plausible evidence) of that fact, then we are just a drain on society.

Seriously, if I hear the word "innovation" abused one more time I am going to vomit. (And where's that dramamine gone to?! Because I seriously think I'm going to need more anti-nausea medication before the whole "I" word debacle is over. Won't some pharmaceutical company come up with an innovative solution for this? Oops!)

Seriously, though. Let's just admit that innovation is something that happens rarely. For the most part, technology *evolves". Do people really want to wake up to a "revolution" every day?

And one more thought. Does "evolution" innovate?

No, "evolution" improves the already existing occurrences of [insert evolving thing here], standing on the shoulders of giants.

Probably an answer to a rhetorical question, but what the heck...

Quoting: innovation innovation (plural innovations)
