Innovation - Laziness

Laziness can drive innovation by motivating people to find easier ways to do tasks. The document presents examples of inventions that resulted from people being too lazy to do things the original way. It discusses how the computer was invented by Professor John Atanasoff because he was too lazy to do complex calculations by hand. Bill Gates also said he invented the computer because he was too lazy to calculate. When people develop innovations out of laziness, they can then leverage those innovations over and over, resulting in exponential returns of reduced effort. Overall, the document argues that laziness should not simply mean doing nothing, but can be a driver of finding innovative solutions to reduce the amount of work required.Read less
