Necessity may be the mother of invention. But in a high-tech, interconnected world and an amplified need to survive or get ahead of competition in business, what could be more closely linked to invention than natural curiosity? In an era where innovation and a fresh approach to thinking are a necessity rather than a nice-to-know thought, here are some ways that being curious leads to great new inventions.

Just being curious with
everything that happens in life can become an unparalleled opportunity of
learning, experimenting, and experiencing different things and phenomena. Of course, no experiment leading to a new
invention is possible without knowledge, learning, and venturing into the great
unknown.
It’s a source of
inspiration.
Curiosity
begets inspiration, which in turn produces insights, that lead to ideas and
later on inventions. It sets the right
environment to entertain an idea and transform it into concrete action that can
possibly change the world.
It reduces errors.
Inventors
and innovators are frustrated with flaws and try to eradicate them, whether
they’re working on a novel product or existing technological systems. This striving for perfection and excellence
begins with something natural in a 5-year-old child: curiosity, or “What can I
do to make this object or system better, more efficient, and more beneficial
for everyone?”
It
fights the status quo.
A lack of
curiosity is a dangerous thing in that it means an acceptance of the status
quo. With curiosity there’s little room
for complacency and resistance to chance – readily two of the biggest enemies
of innovation (and invention).
