Common sense prevails - but when?

As I said on Wednesday, innovation should be about solving real world needs rather than just inventing smart technology. Paying in cheques by photographing them is one of the those innovations that just work. The infrastructure is tried and tested – cheques, camera phones, digital imaging, etc., but even better is the fact that the consumer immedia...
