World changing innovation doesn't occur in isolation. Social environments act a catalysts. We know the names of some digital revolutionaries like Babbage, Lovelace, Turing, Shannon, Von Neumann, Gates, Jobs, Page, ... But we also recognize collaborative settings like Bletschley Park, Bell Labs, Los Alamos, Microsoft, Apple, Google. Beyond that, cities, regions and open-source internet communities serve as innovation incubators.
