Flying Cars and Personalised Robots by 2110 say Children of Today

Have you thought about including young people in your innovation process?

Ideation or idea generation is one part of the 'innovation funnel.' There are a lot of processes we can use to come up with new ideas and sometimes it can pay to spend a little time in unique places. Like Hauling, the post before this one, asking young people might be one of those places. 

Does your ideation process include something wild? Have you asked the young people in your life about their future?

A junior think tank has predicted that flying cars, personalised robots and homes made entirely out of recycled materials will all be commonplace in 2110 Britain. The research, commissioned by housebuilder Taylor Wimpey, asked a panel of over 1,000 seven to 11 year olds how they thought we would live in 100 years time, with some interesting results.
