Innovate like Edison..... or Not....

Posted Jun 11, 2009, by Ed Goldman

I was reading an article in EE Times about Thomas Edison and Innovation in April, and I began noticing that there has been lots of talk about Edison and his drive to innovation and that many of his methods should be deployed today. It got me thinking, is the Edison approach really applicable to today’s world? Thomas Edison was a major engineering icon and exemplifies the best in innovation, risk-taking, … Read More
