innovation: creating new value
design for innovation is inherently about design for unforeseen use
design for unforeseen use
Internet: “end to end”, open connection, standard protocols
these principles of the network now apply to information and content
design for unforeseen use
WWW: “rule of least power” and “view source”
“compatibly communicating devices”
content is the bottleneck
only the wealthy can attack the bottleneck
even the wealthy are failing

if innovation is measured by output of drugs or increase in quality of life for all...
copyrights aren’t advancing innovation
slow innovation impacts us everywhere
if capacity doubles every 18 months, but power efficiency stays the same, then
power consumption doubles too
on the 30th doubling, thickness reaches the edge of the earth’s atmosphere
how many energy doublings can we take?
we need non-linear innovation capacity
freedom to innovate(law, knowledge, technology)
tools to collaborate(law, knowledge, technology)
willpower of research funders(government, private, corporate)
thank you
