America is a country built on the million-dollar idea. The industrial and technological growth of the 20th century was the proliferation of thousands of million dollar ideas that have created companies that have created jobs that have created wealth that have ultimately created the concept of the off shore bank account. The million-dollar idea is as American as apple fucking pie. As pretty much a post-graduate with a hardly useful liberal arts biochemistry degree, I have been plopped in the middle of every other post graduate kid that looks to find some occupation that will pay the bills, get me laid and keep me fed…perhaps not in that order. I am at day one of my search to find the truly American, million-dollar idea. On this blog I will offer up (hopefully) a daily update in a sort of stream of consciousness that will explore the way people interact with themselves, each other, and the world to ultimately come up with that one idea that will explode into the next million dollar idea.
….and let’s not kid ourselves, in the 21st century, it’s more like the search for the billion dollar idea…
A One Million dollar Idea Could help a lot of people get closer to living better quality lives..
ReplyDeleteI think the term "million dollar idea" is more-so meant to indicate the awesomeness of the idea; a measure of quality as opposed to purely a measure of a capacity to generate revenue. I guess having the idea is one thing, protecting it and building it is another thing.
Chaesonian...a play on the Smithsonian. Nice idea. Indeed this is an exhibit; a curious contribution to this digital time capsule.
How about this idea -- a device that fastens an external hard-drive to your computer while retaining fashionable soundness, so that your laptop is still easily portable.
