Joel Spolksy has something nice on the nature of innovations here.
It talks about great innovations are mostly looked at as impossibilities. The article also does warn that the reverse is not always true... Does this mean that the author doesnt believe in what he is writing, eh? Either way, this is worth a read.
Here's a snip from the article:
"The reason I love this story is that it's as stark an illustration as I can find that "seeming impossible" is practically a requirement for a truly great innovation. If something seems possible, that's probably because someone is already doing it. When something seems that it can't possibly work, nobody tries it. Real innovation happens when someone tries anyway, overlooking an obvious flaw, and finds a way to make an idea work."
