Innovation, in a general sense, is challenging the traditional
way of doing things to improve for the future. As designers, the art of
innovation is our profession. It is our job to look at the task/problem from an
outside perspective in order to provide a unique solution that improves upon
the former. Through the design of objects and space, we are better able to
improve upon, and create new experiences that enrich and streamline our daily
lives.
I chose this image as both an example of what happens when
innovation stands still, and as a picture of how innovation has changed our
lives across time. In terms of
politics, when innovation stands still, or if reform is restrained, eventually
out of necessity there is a forced push forward or revolution. Although there
are more peaceful alternatives, war is an example of this push toward a
reformed system that is relevant to current values, and is more efficient. This
image shows men armed with guns riding horses. The horse are an example of
where innovation stopped early in history in terms of transportation, while the
firearms show where innovation has progressed the development of weaponry.
