Innovation will become the NEW Industrialization soon. This means, Innovation becomes very basic and essential for every aspect of human life – be it at individual level, for business, for political systems and every where. Even though Innovation is part of civilization development ever since, now it would be altogether very different. Why? – Mainly because of “Innovation Proliferation” . One Innovation will fuel ten other new Innovations and those ten Innovations will fuel hundred others. So part of current generation and next generation will experience very different kind of life on this planet. Soon once upon a time science fiction will become a reality.
