Education and Innovation

Went to see the Hawkeyes kick some ass last night with The Quiet Man and on the way back, we got jawing about education and how the spiralling costs of college will eventually price a large chunk of the middle class out of the market, so to speak. But leaving that aside, I started wondering about the dearth of innovation in the economy right now and how economic prosperity rests upon creativity and innovation more than anything else.

The Missus showed me this video and I found it fascinating and thought provoking, plus a neat little bit of animation... so kids, watch and discuss amongst yourselves. You never know where the next big idea is going to come from.
