Innovation and Technology for Pakistan

Innovation and Technology for Pakistan

The word Innovation can have many meanings, depending on how and where you use it. But many people tend to confuse Innovation with other words such as Invention. Now Invention is more of a thought that comes to your mind, something like an idea that might have not occurred to anyone before. Innovation, on the other hand, is the process that brings the idea in your head out into motion and creates the Invention. Innovation is the actual difference, the substantial change that you bring to the world by transforming simple thoughts into revolutionary break-through developments. I have myself been guilty of misusing the word Innovation in the past and that has brought about many problems for me. I have always been fond of being different and have always thought of numerous ideas to go about a particular business in my own way. I have held vision through out but I have never been able to bring the ideas in my head out on to the table. I never processed my ideas in a way that could transform them into something very distinct and ground-breaking. The reason for my failure was my failure to better understand Innovation. Now that I have done some kind of a research on Innovation, I have actually come to realize its actual magnitude. In fact, I have grown such fond of Innovation that I now read articles on the subject and try to find what sparked the change behind the ingenious advancements that now stand as landmarks of the modern era. As long as innovators, pioneers and revolutionaries keep on bringing positive changes through Innovation, the world will definitely be a better place to live in.

DESERT ROBOTS

After watching the documentary about the Great Robot Race, I felt a very weird and wonderful feeling inside me. I’m not much into technology and therefore I was totally caught off guard after watching the movie. It had never occurred to me, that a technological advancement of such immense enormity could actually take place. I had often seen remote controlled robotic vehicles being raced but the concept of unmanned vehicles contesting in a race was something inconceivable. Technology has certainly advanced but that is not what made these vehicles so extraordinary. The fact that each one of the winning teams had used different tools and devices to guide their vehicles to victory was truly remarkable.
