“There would seem to be nothing more obvious, more tangible and palpable than the present moment. And yet it eludes us completely. All the sadness of life lies in that fact. In the course of a single second, our senses of sight, of hearing, of smell, register (knowingly or not) a swarm of events and a parade of sensations and ideas passes through our head. Each instant represents a little universe, irrevocably forgotten in the next instant.”
~Milan Kundera (The Art of the Novel)~

IDEA ECONOMY
The Idea Economy represents Intellectual Property and Innovation as the primary resources to secure competitive advantage for organizations and individuals in the digital age. This concept was first brought into the mainstream by consultant Roger Hendrix and entrepreneur Rob Brazell in their book “The Idea Economy: Why Your Ideas Will Have to Create Personal Wealth & Hope in an Age of Uncertainty“ published in 1995 where they posited that after the service economy which was the rage at that time, there will be the time of the idea economy where ideas and company’s ability to execute them will become the main stay of the economy.
