Making mistakes?
Everyone who hears that says, “Oh, I’m already quite good at that.”
Ah, if this were only true. It’s not.
I’ll bet you are highly skilled. And when you get good at something, you repeat it. It’s satisfying to know it will turn out right.
What’s wrong with that?
Everything.
Because shared tastes and experiences,
plus digital technology
equal
no surprises.
Because computers don’t make mistakes. Like Velcro. Or Coca-Cola.
Innovation needs to go against the prevailing grain. To zig when everyone else zags. When you surprise yourself, you surprise others. And that is priceless in a world where everything seems to have been done.
