Being innovative is more important than being right

The last that I could like to say before I kick off this debate pertains to the voters again. Voters, the maximum amount of characters allowed are 4,000. With that's being said, here we go! “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.” -Albert Einstein, http://thinkexist.com... Where can standing within the parameters of being right take you? Sure, it can get you the perfect grade if you do everything right in a Calculus final. It can grant you the approval of your peers and thus provide you with a sense of belonging. It can even offer itself as a justification for you to believe that you are a good person. However, it only does just that. Standing within the parameters of being right does not bring about moral reform; it takes innovation to do that. Standing within the parameters of being right does not revolutionize the status quo; it takes innovation to do that. Being right brings the approval of whichever group of people has the same set of moral values and laws while innovation brings things that were never perceived of before. Consider the following two examples where innovation led to a technological breakthrough: MS-DOS In the 1970s, few people have heard of a microcomputer, a complete computer scaled down (or a personal computer. Remember that computers were far greater in size than today's computers). Microsoft revolutionizd the way in which computers worked by incorporating a new operating system (OS) devised in 1980, the MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System), into the IBM PC to be shipped out in 1981 [1]. It was soon followed by the first version of Windows, Windows 1.0, which was then followed by the next versions of Windows up until Windows 8. Zuse: Z1 Konrad Zuse, renowned in Germany as "the father of computers," built what is considered the first real computer from 1936 to 1938 (although, there is some debate as to whether or not Zuse really built the first real computer, seeing that other nations reserved the honor for their own scientists. Challengers to the name included the Moore School of Electrical Engineering of the University of Pennsylvania with the ENIAC, which solved the first problem in 1945 and Howard Aiken with the Mark 1 between 1939 to 1944). It was the first computer to be mechanically programmable [3] and it was the forerunner of the modern calculator, seeing that its primary purpose was to compute a series of algorithms. These two technilogical breathroughs have two things in common: they both introduced a methodology of work that did not exist prior to their release and they were both the result of innovation. Innovation is not limited to technology; consider the American Revolution and the events following that. Think about the significance of the American Constitution and how it offered a system of government that did not exist in the colonies prior to its enactment. Think about the significance of the American Consitution and how it defined the rights of the American people. Now think about innovation because America, as we know it today, would not have been possible without it (no semantic purpose with the use of the word "rights.").I yield the rest of round two to Con for his opening statment.
