Innovation SpaceHeather Blanchard, The American University of Paris
“There’s a temptation in our networked age to think that ideas can be developed by email and iChat. That’s crazy.
Creativity comes from spontaneous meetings, from random discussions.
You run into someone, you ask what they’re doing, you say ‘Wow,” and soon you’re cooking up all sorts of ideas.”
- Steve Jobs
