Cross-pollination is not just for plants. Any idea results from a combo of other ideas. It may work or may not, but no idea is truly unique. So how do we innovate? The concept of withered technology+ lateral thinking: take an existing, reliable technology and reimagine it in different contexts.

The diagram starts with \"withered technology\", or technology that is already developed, reliable, and maybe even considered mundane compared to newer innovations. However, if you pair new, diverse, and creative ideas with withered technology you can create something even more innovative and groundbreaking. This diagram shows many branches breaking off one idea into the next, showing there are many different combinations, some resulting in bad ideas and some resulting in great ideas.",
