The Zen of Innovation

Innovation: A hard-to-quantify, Zen-like force, an unexpected flash of lateral thinking, when we see what everyone else has been missing. And we know it can take an ‘Ocean of Sweat’ to bring it to life.

Seven key megatrends in technology today:

• Enabling Components – the devices that drive the systems we use.

• The Need for Speed – pushing systems and networks into the giga-hertz era.

• Mobility – the wireless nets and devices we take on the road.

• Digital Media – the era of digital music, movies, radio and TV.

• Beyond the Box – pioneering the software that fuels our systems.

• Pathfinders – defining what lies beyond the horizon.

• The Digital Frontier – digital technology that enables new medical, automotive and industrial applications.
