Technology is driving the innovation. Technology is driving the creativity. Technology and the use of that is going to determine our workers' ability to compete in the 21st century global marketplace.

Innovation is what we're going to need for the future, and that's always been a part of the technology industry.

Tech innovation is something societies have to pursue as vigorously as they can. We have to innovate civically and socially at the same rate; otherwise, you create unfortunate disruptions, and that's where you have people opposing technological innovations.

If companies don't think systemically enough - if they try to capture too much of the value - eventually, innovation moves somewhere else.

The breakthrough innovations come when the tension is greatest and the resources are most limited. That's when people are actually a lot more open to rethinking the fundamental way they do business.

Tech is a funny industry; I don't think there is any other industry on the planet that reinvents itself every 10-12 years.

Innovation happens because there are people out there doing and trying a lot of different things.

My view is that innovation has declined in the everyday processes that businesses tinker with incrementally as they try to become more productive over time.

Technological 'revolutions' don't really overthrow anything - they simply append a new and dynamic market to that which went before.

IT is now reaching out to fuels and chemicals, energy and clean tech, rockets, all kinds of bizarre industries that formerly didn't face much competition.
