About Innovation

Doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But every time we create something new, we go from 0 to 1.

About Technology

Technology is miraculous because it allows us to do more with less, ratcheting up our fundamental capabilities to a higher level.

About College students

College students can become extremely skilled at a few specialties, but many never learn what to do with those skills in the wider world [1]. My primary goal in teaching the class was to help my students see beyond the tracks laid down by academic specialties to the broader future [2] that is theirs to create.

Innovation

Doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But every time we create something new, we go from 0 to 1.

“1 to n” & “0 to 1”

这两个概念可以很好地帮助你回答“What's innovation？”。进一步地，不妨利用Bill Gates & an operating system，Larry Page or Sergey Brin & a search engine的例子，来详细说明哪些实现从0到1突破的人们如何占据了first mover advantage（先发优势），从而论证创新的重要性。

Technology

Technology is miraculous because it allows us to do more with less, ratcheting up our fundamental capabilities to a higher level.

to do more with less

这么解释Technology，真是太精妙了啊。如何用最简单的词句组合出最精准地道的表达？这就是最佳范例。

上文加粗部分会在谈及大学教育时派上用场：

[1] 可用于谈论长期待在象牙塔里，缺乏实践经验的小朋友。

[2] 可用于谈论大学通识教育的重要性，也可说明“行万里路”的重要性：不同的路径，为我们提供了广阔的可能性。你会渐渐了解，当把目标设在Z点时，我未必需要老老实实循着ABC～Z的路径，可以先到达甲乙，甚至从α到β，再到Z。

Likewise, all ways lead to ROME.
