Celebrate Innovation Day
Innovation has become something of a buzzword these days, but it is one that represents an important concept that is constantly changing the world. Because it’s, well, innovative!
Any time a person comes up with a new idea, a new product, or a new service that advances modern technology and finds new ways of doing things, they have been a part of innovation. Whether this happens at home, on a local level, corporately or on an international level, Innovation Day celebrates such accomplishments!
Companies all over the world are constantly innovating, creating new ways for people to interact with and experience the world. Innovation Day celebrates these intrepid explorers of new ideas and what their work changes about our future.
History Of Innovation Day
The Science History Institute, working in conjunction with the Society of Chemical Industry, are regularly banded together to host Innovation Day. This particular day was created to help bring attention to those who were not just producing technology, but to those who were pushing the envelope on what could be done and what was possible.
These two organizations know that every new idea or invention, every new step forward, is based on the work done by the innovators of the past. This is true today and will continue to remain true in the future. Which makes it that much more important to honor those innovators of the past who have laid the foundation for today and for the future.
Innovation Days may be held throughout the year by companies and organizations who are seeking to find opportunities and acquire great ideas from all throughout their infrastructure. What sets these innovators apart is that they look at present knowledge and technology and then aim to see beyond their present applications.
As society changes, the use of technology changes with it, even existing technology. This means that innovators need to be able to understand not just the present context that technology exists in, but the future implications of that technology. From this broader understanding, they can develop new technology that better suits the uses that old tech has been put to. This understanding can also inspire new forms of technology that hadn’t previously been considered.
As innovators work, two vital things that are essential is for them to think outside the box and to always be looking forward. That is why Innovation Day was created, to represent and inspire these people to greater heights.
Get ready to celebrate Innovation Day!

PICTURES OF THE DAY
Gioachino Rossini (1792–1868) was an Italian composer best known for his thirty-nine operas. This 1821 lithograph by the French artist Paul Delaroche is entitled Il signor Tambourossini, which is a portmanteau of Rossini's name with tambour (French for 'drum'), caricaturing Rossini's European reputation at the time as a creator of noise. The illustration depicts "Tambourossini" in Oriental dress and playing a trumpet and a bass drum, accompanied by a screeching magpie, and assisted by King Midas, with ass's ears. Both are seen trampling on sheet music and violins, while Apollo, the god of music, flees in the background. |
