The Last I- Innovation

Looking over the past couple of posts since we have started, I noticed that we have been talking about two I’s: Influence and Inspiration. Now I present to you the last I: Innovation.

Innovation is how I refer to humankind genius. The ability to look beyond the obvious and outside of the box to come up with a brand new idea. Since innovation is always new, it is usually looked upon with skepticism from people who are too stuck in ‘the norm’. But the innovations that do become successful create huge changes in the economy and culture. Here I’m talking about Apple’s infamous iPod and Nintendo’s shiny new Wii (which I finally got recently ^.^). I don’t know if it was Steve Jobs’ plan all along to make a cultural icon and revolutionize the music industry forever but that was exactly what happened. Heck, the i in iPod might as well stand for innovation. And then there’s Nintendo’s Wii.. with two i’s! Innovating video games with something like motion sensing brings about a whole new way of playing games.

So the three I’s will now be our tactic to get the world to hear us. We want to influence the world, inspire others, and create an innovation for the world to see. That might sound ambitious but this is what CanTheWorldHearMe is all about. Expect some more posts based on this but I don’t actually know if the three I’s have been coined anywhere else. A quick Google search doesn’t bring up anything significant. So with the completion of this sentence, I now coin the three I’s: Influence, Inspiration, and Innovation. Hopefully one day it will join the ranks of the 3 R’s and the 5 W’s.
