Innovation Day 2024

My career was immersed in technology for 40 years, but I was never really an "innovator" as it were.

After maintaining and operating the AN/SPG 55-B air search radar and missile guidance set during my Navy hitch I delved into other existing technical areas after discharge and developed various software products for market and also engaged in a few cutting edge computational models of my own only to have team leaders assume credit for them and push me aside when they were complete.

Innovation is the act of introducing new things into the world to include science, hardware, customs, products, and even rites of passage or religion.

Today we mark innovation by commemorating Innovation Day each February 16th in recognition of the role knowledge plays in the advancement of humanity. Technology, inventions, and careers are the crux of the day with a primary focus on those inventors which bring the advancements in science and technology to us.

Since the 1700s we have been a consumer driven culture and indeed by the 1920s civilization pushed business organizations to develop innovative goods and services and even provided laboratories for reasearch and experiementation toward that end.

Innovation Day is that mark we place on the world to provide something better.
