    MEET THE INNOVATORS FORUM & GALA PROGRAM WELCOME On behalf of the members of the 2017 Edison Awards Steering Committee, I would like to warmly welcome you to the 30th Annual Edison Awards. We thank you all for joining us here in New York City, and for your support of our mission to be a leader in globally recognizing, honoring and fostering innovation and innovators to create a positive impact in the world. The Edison Awards are unique among innovation awards in their recognition of how the team and the process play a critical role in the success of each nomination that we receive and every award that we grant. Thomas Edison said, “The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.” All of the Finalists being honored today have succeeded in the doing of innovation. They represent an unprecedented level of creativity, inventiveness and impact. They, like Edison, “decided that a result [was] worth getting…and [went] ahead of it and [made] trial after trial until it [came].” We congratulate all of you on your achievements. We hope that your experience with the Edison Awards proves to be a stepping stone to even greater heights in the innovative products and services you are creating. Edison believed that “The world owes nothing to any man, but every man owes something to the world.” You are being recognized today for your innovative contributions to the world.

    CASE STUDY SERIES #67 APRIL 2020 [X] Project: What’s Next? Authors: Perdana Karim Felice Valeria Editor: Treviliana Eka Putri Design and Layout: Naufal A. Radityasakti 1 GoogleX Project: What’s Next? Introduction Humans nowadays have become much more dependent on technology. Technology, for the most part, has become an important and integral part of our lives. From the computers that we can put in our pockets, to the artificial intelligence we talk to, technology can no longer be separated from our lives, for better or for worse. Although it may seem like this is an entirely new phenomenon, humans were no dierent back then and have always been dependent on the technology of their time. We have always been dependent on the technologies that have created our lives to be easier and better. Back then, the technology that we depend on was much simpler compared to the technology today. No matter how small the technological advancement was, it has, for the most part, made an impact to the livelihood of humans. From the fire that guided our ancestors through the dark and gave them warmth to the discovery of electricity that illuminated us from the dark and gave us warmth that we could control, humans have always been dependent on technology that helped us live through another day. In this day and age of the 4th Industrial Revolution, where technology is more and more integrated within our lives, the million-dollar, or in this case the billion-dollar, the question is; What's next? Google, what once started out as a simple search engine that connected early internet users to websites and information that they needed, has now become a mega company that is no longer just a search engine.
