The electric light did not come from the continuous improvement of the candle… via Oren Harari #education… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…—

When I find a juicy quote like this, I do at least three things:

1. Try to verify that is was actually said and why.
2. Find out more about the person who said it.
3. Create an image quote of it.

A quick search revealed Oren Harari to be a business and management professor. The context of the quote seems to be that of encouraging startups to think and act differently.

The quote seems to have made its way into educational circles as thought leaders seek to challenge outdated teaching practices or correct misplaced notions of “innovative” teaching.

I would have liked to have reused the candle bulbs image, but it was not CC-licensed. So I found an alternative.
