Innovation and Technology for Pakistan The word innovation can have many meanings, depending on how and where it is used. But many people tend to confuse Innovation with other words like Invention. Now invention is more of a thought that comes to mind, something like an idea that may not have occurred to anyone before. Innovation, on the other hand, is the process of setting the idea in motion in your head and creating the invention. Innovation is the real difference, the substantive change you bring to the world by transforming simple thoughts into breakthrough, game-changing developments. I myself have abused the word innovation in the past and this has caused me many problems. I have always loved being different and have always thought of numerous ideas to tackle a certain activity in my own way. I kept the vision to the end, but I was never able to put the ideas I had in my head on the table. I have never developed my ideas in a way that could turn them into something very distinct and innovative. The reason for my failure was my inability to understand innovation better. Now that I've done some sort of research on innovation, I've come to realize its true scope. In fact, I've become so passionate about innovation that I now read articles on the subject and try to discover what triggered the change behind the ingenious advances that now represent the benchmarks of the modern era. As long as innovators, pioneers and disruptors continue to bring positive change through innovation, the world will surely be a better place to live. DESERT ROBOTSAfter watching the documentary on the Great Robot Race, I felt a truly strange and wonderful feeling inside me. I'm not very interested in technology so I was totally taken aback after watching the movie. It had never occurred to me that a technological advance of such immense enormity could actually take place. I had often seen remote-controlled robotic vehicles racing, but the concept of unmanned vehicles competing in a race was something inconceivable. Technology has certainly advanced, but that's not what made these vehicles so amazing. The fact that each of the winning teams used different tools and devices to guide their vehicles to victory was truly remarkable.
