Tune in for “The Innovation Delusion: Has our obesession with the new disrupted the work that matters most”

On November 4, at 9 a.m. PDT, join the WSU Alumni Association online for “The Innovation Delusion: Has Our Obsession With the New Disrupted the Work that Matters Most.”

Based on the book, The Innovation Delusion, co-author and technology historian Lee Vinsel will explore how our way of thinking about and pursuing innovation has made us poorer, less safe, and—ironically—less innovative. As an alternative, Vinsel will outline the Maintenance Mindset, a more grounded and realistic picture of our lives with technology. He offers a clear plan for shifting our focus away from the pursuit of growth at all costs and back toward neglected activities like maintenance, care, and upkeep.
