_Search is on for new metaphor for innovation_
**Cupertino** – It seems the bell has tolled for the concept of ‘the wheel’ as a benchmark for human ingenuity. Instead, the search is on for a new metaphor to describe the crazy ideas inventors can come up with. Experts in the field of inventionism have already decided that the circular object no longer can maintain a stable position as forward thinking rolemodel. “I mean, it wasn't even invented for vehicles. The ancient Mesopotamians used them for creating pottery.” says history buff Robert Ignacious Peter van Winkle.
And so, a challenge has been issued to the scientific world: come up with something inventive, darn it. A prompt has been created. Van Winkle: ”We feel it's probably good to be forward thinking and futureproof this idea. So that when something better comes along, people should be able to say ‘This is the best thing since X.’ X being the amazing invention we're looking for, of course.”

_正在搜索關於創新的新隱喻_
**庫比蒂諾** – 「輪子」概念作為人類創造力的基準似乎已經受到了打擊。取而代之的是尋找新的比喻來描述發明家可以提出的瘋狂想法。發明領域的專家已經決定,圓形物體已不再能維持作為前瞻性思考榜樣的穩定地位。 「我的意思是,它甚至不是為汽車發明的。古老的美索不達米亞人用它們來製作陶器。」歷史愛好者羅伯特·伊格納茲·彼得·範溫克爾說。
因此,科學界發起了一項挑戰:想出一些有創造力的東西,加油,提示已經有了。範溫克爾:「我們認為,對這個想法進行前瞻性思考和對未來進行驗證可能會很好。這樣一來,當出現更好的事情時,人們應該能夠說:『這是自 X 以來最好的事情。』X 當然是我們正在尋找的驚人發明。」
