Do something innovative this weekend...
In class this week we talked about the concept of innovation. What does it mean to be innovative? What makes someone an innovator? Is Steve Jobs an innovator? I thought it was fitting when I found this post on the Chive today: Do Something Innovative This Weekend. While yes, all of these pictures made me laugh, are they really innovative. Creative, maybe, but I wouldn't necessarily say innovative. But I think this is an interesting point, the concepts of innovation and creativity are starting to be used synonymously. But does being creative really mean innovative too? What would an artist (like Picasso) say about this? What would Steve Jobs say about this (I'm sure he would tell you you're fired)?

This is a good catch! There are many sites that work to provide "life hacks" for everyday situations. I see this as an example of our reorientation from skill sets to process in our education and life patterns.
