Each week, in our Sunday newsletter, we look back on the past seven days. Regarding content, we always do so at the initiative of our cartoonist, Albert Jan Rasker<\/a>. He chooses a subject, draws a picture, and we take it from there.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking at Albert Jan\u2019s cartoon, I immediately had to think about that guy who invented the wheel but was laughed at by a group of stone carriers. Or about those monks who kept on writing with a goose feather for hundreds of years after the invention of the printing press. Albert Jan refers to a great interview<\/a> – part of our Innovation Maestros<\/em> series – my colleague Elcke Vels<\/a> had with Bruce Tuch, the inventor of Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this moment, we can\u2019t function without Wi-Fi. People are still working hard to optimize the wireless network. The 2 megabits per second speed when Wi-Fi started is long gone. In 2004, the speed was increased to 54 megabits. Meanwhile, we have arrived at Wi-Fi 7, coming this year, with theoretical speeds of up to 46 gigabits per second.

Warning: Daylight Saving Time has ended<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Autumn has arrived, and the clock is pushed back a full hour. As debates over Daylight Saving Time (DST) continue, a recent study reveals light-based strategies that may ease the disruption DST causes to our internal clocks. The research employs mathematical modeling to explore how exposure to natural and artificial light influences circadian rhythm adjustment to DST. Findings indicate that tailored light exposure can speed up adaptation, mitigating health and productivity challenges associated with DST\u2019s one-hour shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, especially for the night owls, take the researchers\u2019 advice<\/a> seriously!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Origins becomes IO+. Our familiar values will remain but with a clearer focus and a new look. On November 14, we’ll officially launch our new platform, and we would love to see you there. Our readers are part of our network and essential to our platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, mark your calendars for Thursday, November 14. We start at around 16.00 at Microstad (5 minutes’ walk from Eindhoven\u2019s central station). There will be a live interview with a special guest; we will reveal our new brand and toast to an innovative future. You can register here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
