The Spark: Where Ideas Come From Most transformative technologies don’t start as grand visions to “change the world.” They start with problems: Tasks that are too slow or expensive Systems that don’t scale Human limitations that software or machines can overcome Cloud computing emerged from the need to scale infrastructure efficiently. Artificial intelligence grew out of the desire to automate pattern recognition. Smartphones were born from the convergence of computing, co...
