What sparks an innovation ? Does it always require a genius ?<\/div>\n
The other day, I while scrolling through an endless stream of facebook jokes, and I came across this.<\/div>\n
\u201c A lady (could have been a gentleman) complained at a computer shop, claiming that the new laptop computer she had bought would not carry out even the basic functions. On enquiry she explained that she was not able to copy a file from her old laptop to the new one. When asked how exactly she proceeded to carry out this task, she explained,<\/div>\n
\u201cI right clicked on the file icon on the old laptop, unplugged the mouse, carefully took it to the new laptop and plugged it and did a right click paste\u201d<\/div>\n
The salesman fainted.<\/div>\n
The joke was followed by typical facebook responses ; \u2018haha\u2019, \u2018LOL\u2019, \u2018ROFL\u2019 etc. Amidst all that what caught my attention was the comment \u201cThat\u2019s an interesting idea, a mouse with a memory\u201d. <\/div>\n
It got me thinking.<\/p>\n

People who were very comfortable using the command line interface  designed the Graphical User Interface for the not so tech-savvy users to click their way through the digital world. Till today, many Unix\/Linux users cannot understand how ‘ten clicks’ can be easier to do than a simple command on the terminal.  The  aim is to design a  ‘user-friendly’ device.<\/p>\n

Find out what an user is doing , and make your device work to such behaviour, and you have the ultimate user-friendly device.<\/b><\/p>\n

Why can\u2019t we have a mouse with a memory? After all we have an internet dongle with memory and storage space of its own? Make it a wireless mouse and it would be a \u2018wow\u2019 gadget. Point at a file, do a right \u2013click copy , put it into your pocket and now you are ready to do a right-click paste \u2013 transfer to any other PC !<\/p><\/div>\n

As for the cyber-security police , it would mean a terrible nightmare. <\/div>\n
Coming back to the question what sparks an innovation, may be it does not need a spark of genius, even a spark of acute idiocy would do.<\/div>\n
