Let’s Not “Not Reinvent The Wheel”
Some people go out of their way to “not reinvent the wheel”.
“Let’s not reinvent the wheel” is a pretty common phrase in meetings.
It’s used as a statement of intent not to over invest in time, labor, money or creativity in order to get something done.
But sometime’s it’s worthwhile to reinvent the wheel
Take a look at the early computer mouse.
It’s a series of reinvented wheels that are driven by a rotating ball.
Fast forward a few years and the mouse carried a new wheel on top that allowed you to scroll vertically by simply rotating the wheel.
Think back to the very first generation iPod — Apple reinvented the wheel as a navigational tool and MP3 players were never the same again.
The wheel is reinvented everyday in every industry.
The companies that create new wheels create new jobs, new technology, new connections (and a whole lot of new money.)
I say let’s constantly recreate the wheel!
