In Jon Gertner’s article “True Innovation (2012),” the author claims that the Bell Lab aims to innovation which towards the most revolutionary inventions imaginable.  First of all, a number of achievements have been listed in this article to show the innovation made by Bell Lab. Then, the author states how Mr. Kelly worked for the innovation and some approaches he used to verify the innovation. Finally, the article shows that there are diverse methods to realize the innovation and the author concludes revolutions happened fast but success slowly.

I do agree that the Bell Lab has a highly influence on business. Due to the numbers of products produced by Bell Lab, most of companies got the benefits from them more or less. Such as the first communication satellites created by Bell Lab, it made the wireless communication realized. From my perspective, I do claim that companies like AT&T earn a lot from this progress. In sum, as far as I am concerned, the true innovation will always influenced business and make our lives better.

I am really approve of Mr. Kelly’s idea that he believed freedom was significant in research. First of all, people must have a freedom mind if they want to create something new. The requirement of the society is to find the innovation and made the old things new, then we can make progress. Like Brain Storm, an efficient method, both for scientific research and business, to help people find something new. The first step for Brian Storm is to have a freedom mind. After that, we are able to make true innovation. This philosophy work for diverse Internet companies like Amazon, Alibaba, or Face book. These companies need innovation all the time.
