AFAIK, 23andme didn't invent genetic testing and Tesla didn't invent the electric car. They made it a consumer service and they made it sexy (respectively).
Maybe I'm being to strict with the word.
- jhancock 18y agoSeems like Time is gunning for the Wired mag subscriber demographic. Cool products, but I would expect a little different from Time. But times change, maybe this is the new hipper, cooler Time mag ;).
- LogicHoleFlaw 18y agoThat may well be the plan. I heard on NPR a few days ago that Time Corp. just initiated a large round of layoffs. Out with the old, in with the new?
- wensing 18y agoGiven how news print publications are moving these days, I'd say it's probably just out with the old.
- 13ren 18y ago"invention" is a tricky concept. Edison didn't invent the concept of the light bulb - but he did invent a particular version of it that was commercially viable. I don't know the facts, but possibly both 23 and Tesla Corp. developed technological improvements that facilitated commercial viability.
- jdrock 18y agoAgreed.. 23andme could maybe win "commercialization of the year"..? But that's still stretching it.
