About this Quote

This quote by Dean Kamen talks to the concept that often, creations can really prevent development. He suggests that when we end up being too focused on the innovation itself, we forget the purpose of the innovation and the capacity for further development. This can be seen in many locations of life, from the way we use our phones to the method we interact with each other. We end up being so caught up in the technology that we forget to consider how it can be used to produce something new and innovative. This can lead to stagnation and a lack of development. It is very important to bear in mind that developments are indicated to be used to develop something brand-new and to press the borders of what is possible. We ought to not end up being so concentrated on the innovation that we forget the potential for further innovation.
