If we accept the claim that Apple's (or a lot of other companies) innovation is to take an existing solution which is available on the market and reinvent it, we can set up this table.
If this is the case what can we expect? What has been invented 10 - 20 years ago? Should the Web (WWW) reinvented? The iPod or the Mac? Probably the DVD (but it's only a larger CD)? Segway? Search? Social networking? Digital photography?
Naturally one rightly can argue that this sample
is statistically not relevant and it's not clear what should be
considered as an original invention. I still
see a pattern there; apparently it takes 10-20 years to reinvent a technical
innovation.
