Quickthink

An ongoing thread of this blog is to find out where innovation is happening and why. I am always looking for articles on how people are doing things better, whether that is through a new product or business method, or ecology.

So I enjoyed Sarah Lacy’s TechCrunch post on whether China will produce the “next Silicon Valley” (SV). Her provocative answer — there are so many threads of innovation moving in parallel fashion that it is more exciting than SV. Here is her main idea

What makes China so staggering is that everything that happened to corporate America over decades—think the television and media studios build out of the 1950s, the greed of the 1980s, the dot com bubble, the build out of physical and IT infrastructure, current Web 2.0 and CleanTech innovation—is all happening to China at once.

So we may safely place Stacy in the “bullish on China” camp. Let’s see if it pans out.
