Puzzler: Shaping the Future

"Ideas! Ideas are the grist of innovation! They say necessity is the mother of invention—well, the watchword of the 21st century is bound to be 'innovation.' Where do they come from, these ideas? Dickinson thinks it has the answer. Who can contribute, and how? Can they come from students, alumni, professors, administrators? Yes, yes, yes and yes. How can we learn about them, what’s the vehicle? That’s our question for today. Its name might sound like something you could read about in 'Common Sense,' but this isn’t the 18th century, and I doubt you can get Poor Richard to help you with your submission."

Listen to the new question at the 1:25 mark below.
