Dean Kamen
I don’t have to invent anything… It’s out there somewhere if I can just find it and integrate it… Inventing is frustrating, it’s dangerous, it’s expensive, and inventors should avoid it whenever possible. Be a systems integrator.
From Code Name Ginger: The Story Behind Segway and Dean Kamen’s Quest to Invent a New World. He rants a lot about innovation, invention and systems thinking.
