— December 6, 2009 — Tech
I know what you are thinking. If they are reversed innovations, then they wouldn't be innovations at all. They would be a outovations and, therefore, quite lame. Well let me tell you something:

Shut it.

Implications - People like when things are different, and these interesting innovations definitely cut to the chase.
