Failure is a necessary part of the innovation process because from failure comes learning, iteration, adaptation, and the building of new conceptual and physical models through an iterative learning process.
FORBES: Creating An Innovation Culture: Accepting Failure is Necessary
Some people know immediately: They'd create physical Minecraft models, make manga figurines, pop out replacement parts for a motorcycle.
Is it any wonder the industry sticks to a winning formula and largely shuns the idea of using bigger, more representational female models, let alone disabled models whose physical forms will be even more difficult to sell as aspirational?
Assuming the science is valid (and every year, the scientists generally find more physical evidence to validate their models, so it seems pretty solid), something will have to eventually change.
FORBES: A New Report on Climate Change: The World Bank Tries to Wake Us Up
Carpe Diem Collegiate Middle and High School, one of my favorite blended-learning models, has no physical education class.
FORBES: Physical Activity and Digital Learning: Two Peas in a Pod
Already, 3D printing has been refined to the point where digital models can be duplicated into physical prototypes or production parts that closely resemble mass-produced products in looks and function.
It remains to be seen whether these efforts and innovations will be enough to create new paths for successful investments in hardware-only business models or whether VC investments in physical products in the IT and Energy arena will have limited interest for the foreseeable future.
FORBES: Time To Invest In Hardware And Manufacturing Startups
True, we have mathematical models that approximate the behavior of many physical systems, and in some cases (like quantum mechanics) it does so with extremely high precision.
The Q10's touch screen is significantly smaller, to give space for the physical keyboard, and looks similar to the recent BlackBerry Bold models.
The experiment with e-commerce thus far has shown that online shoppers tend to favor the bricks-and-clicks models so they don't sacrifice having a physical location where they can get advice, view products or make an exchange -- a finding that bricks-and-clicks universities are likely to recognize and copy, Levine said.
The next stage of the research will looking at physical similarities between different groups, in which the team will use photographs of people and make 3D models to measure quantitative similarities between related groups.
