As 5 billion come online, innovation will increasingly come from the margins, with entrepreneurs and inventors building for different audiences and incredibly specific problems.
Consider 24-year-old Kenyan inventor Anthony Mutua, who has invented a chip that can charge phones with footsteps (a reminder of how problematic the lack of reliable and affordable electricity, and to a lesser extent short battery life, is for many people).
Mutua’s chip is now set to go into mass production. Innovation really can come from the ground up.
