Hugh MacLeod of gapingvoid.com has recently been doing some great work with Intel. Most of all, doing live drawings and signings at the Intel booth at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show.
I couldn't be there in person, but at least I can be there in spirit.
So I downloaded one of Hugh's Freebies on his blog and made a little sketch on the Blank-Canvas of the Intel/Gapingvoid processor.
That's human potential right there. It's completely unpredictable, and is often silent for long periods of time. But then, suddenly someone manages to put the piece together, and a completely new way of thinking emerges.
That's Darwin publishing 'The Origin of Species', or Einstein penning down E=mc2, or Wikipedia discovering the wisdom of crowds, or Craigslist tapping into local efficiency, or Apple effectively creating a mainstream market for tablets.
So I ask, what breakthrough are you going to make in this lifetime?
