World’s First Passenger Drone

in #steemiteducation5 years ago (edited)

Creativity and Innovation often must work together.

Many of us have been playing and using drone for leisure even for movie making.

China created the first passenger drone and used to deliver holiday gifts few years back.

We must admit that drone is not new, but making a bigger model to become a flying vehicle in the air, becomes an innovation using the existing technology.

Successful businesses often depend on how one can innovate constantly before his competitors.

We are living in a world where technology is constantly moving forward without stopping.

Our children and students would face more challenges in the future so the need to cultivate innovation and creativity to cope and compete with others would be the life skill we cannot ignore.

China used to be a country where we would not associate innovation and technology with it but it has become the world main manufacturers with many new technologies like the one shown in the videoclip.

As parents and teachers, we must provide opportunities especially when our children and students face a problem or challenge to get them to think out of the box to solve the issue.

I agree with your points, though I have a comment on one:

Successful businesses often depend on how one can innovate constantly before his competitors.

Sometimes the one who gets to market first with a new technology does, indeed, have a strong advantage over those that follow. But very often, those that follow can capture a greater market share than the first because they can take advantage of the unanticipated uses of the tech that emerge that hadn't been considered at its inception. Once those uses become evident, the follow-on can adjust their version with those new uses in mind. It may also be a case that the originator can't keep up with demand, or adjust their original design in a cost-effective way to meet the demand in the new direction.

This is still the same kind of 'out of the box' thinking you are encouraging, but it is helpful to include that follow-on scenario in the discussion.

You are right. When something looks profitable, many will follow and copy. The originator would need to make further improvement to stay above.
