Week 1 Reading reflection on 'Innovation that will change your tomorrow'

Innovation is the soul of a nation, it is an inexhaustible motive force for the prosperity of the world. Because of innovation, human life developed from the slash-and-burn, into a mechanized planting because of industrial development. Because of innovation, human developed from the nascent hard times, into the highly civilized modern society. Innovation is endless, it is a permanent topic of the development of human society. And never ignore the existence of innovation. 'That’s what this issue is about: all the little failures, trivialities and not-quite-solved mysteries that make the successes possible. This is what innovation looks like. It’s messy, and it’s awesome.'
