Week 14 Reading Reflection

The most surprising thing I read about in these two chapters happened to be a very interesting story in how the 3M was founded. In Chapter 3, Francis G. Oakie had the idea that he can replace men's razors with sandpaper that would take off facial hair. That was mind baffling and considered a failure at first until he found success with his invention as waterproof sandpaper in the auto industry, how crazy! I didn't have many questions in this passage in particular. They were two fun interesting chapters that were in this passage! One confusing area in this passage that I thought was the different forms of innovations. If there's been so many things developed throughout history, how much more radical innovation can there be in the creating ideas? And at what point do innovations get categorized from radical to incremental? I guess I did have some questions that I didn't realize at first. There wasn't any point in these readings where I thought or felt the author made incorrect statements in any way.
