Things are different now.
You never really know whether or not something has legs. I find that sometimes, projects that I have the least regard for, end up generating the greatest stir. Yesterday, I was combing statistics in preparation for a meeting on Tuesday, when I came across something staggering: In 1958 almost 80% of patents were filed by individuals. Individuals. I subsequently found that the figure today is more like 13%. For you arithmetician’s out there thats a 67% drop in 50 years. I wrote it down, and asked myself why? Then I wrote down the answer. The funny thing is that I had powerpoint open at the time so i scribbled it onto slides. I then spent about an hour fiddling with it. I showed the .ppt to David at a meeting yesterday and he seems to think that it quite good, so I am going to share it with you now. We are converting it into a flash movie, and who knows after that. The Bible says never to despise the day of small beginnings. At ideabreaker, embracing those small beginnings is what we do.
