Inventors Than, Innovators Now

I was watching a program on new, young inventors. The ideas and designs being shown were amazing. All of these products will have a life changing impact on our society. With all that said, I couldn't help think that we shouldn't be calling them inventors, rather innovators. It feels like anything you think of has already been made but that doesn't mean it has been done right. I but my own blog in this question. Has a blog already been made of a students thoughts on marketing and his future? I could find hundreds of them in Kingston alone. I have not come to make a new product, instead I have chosen to create an insightful spin on student blogs.


You have to think of the old saying "I am not trying to reinvent the wheel". What you want to do is make the best wheel you can make. It may have already been done similar but has it been done right? Once you have made this wheel, you now have to sell this wheel. Will someone want to buy this product or does your consumer already have a wheel they use? All of these questions need to be asked when coming up with your idea. Remember even if you are in innovator, you in fact are a inventor.


Try to think of these steps before you want to invent something. Your invention could be anything. It could be a type of meal, device or service. This mindset can be successful for any product or idea. Don't dwell on the creating something new, think about creating something brilliant.
