" "On many levels, Google’s moonshot factory is no different from a traditional skunk works. Isolation, for example, is also key to their process. “In any organization,” says Teller, “the bulk of your people will be climbing the hill they’re standing on. That’s what you want them to do. That’s their job. A skunk works does a totally different job. It’s a group of people looking for a better hill to climb. This is threatening to the rest of the organization. It just makes good sense to separate these two groups.

Additional quotes by Peter Diamandis
After a novel technology is introduced and begins gaining momentum, we tend to envision it in its final form — seriously overinflating our expectations for both its developmental timetable and its short-term potential. Invariably, when these technologies fail to live up to the initial hype — usually in that gap between deception and disruption on our list of the Six Ds — public sentiment for the technology falls into the trough of disillusionment. And this is where a great many of the technologies discussed in chapter 3 now sit. But when technologies are in the trough, we are again swayed by the hype (this time, the negative hype) and consistently fail to believe they'll ever emerge, thus missing their massively transformative potential.

Information is our latest, our brightest, commodity. "In a world of material goods and material exchange, trade is a zero-sum game," says inventor Dean Kamen.
