2 Conflicting Views on Innovation

Although not strictly on Corporate Innovation in the process terms that we normally deal with here, I found it interesting to read the 2 contrasting "expert" opinions found in BusinessWeek on the future of Innovation in the tech industry.

Nicholas Negroponte, MIT's Media Lab Founder and so-called "futurist" has a rather negative viewpoint here - BW Online | August 25, 2003 | Online Extra: Nicholas Negroponte: The Innovation "Void"

Whilst an ever optimistic Steve Jobs of Apple fame presents a far brighter vision here - BW Online | August 13, 2003 | Steve Jobs: "I'm an Optimist"

i wonder which one is right....
