Carlson's Law on innovation, as related in the book "That Used To Be Us: How America Fell Behind in the World It Invented and How We Can Get It Back", by Thomas Friedman and Michael Mandelbaum, pp. 95-98, 150.

"Carlson's Law", posited by Dr. Curtis R. Carlson, the C.E.O. of SRI International, in Silicon Valley, states that:

"In a world where so many people now have access to education and cheap tools of innovation, innovation that happens from the bottom up tends to be chaotic but smart. Innovation that happens from the top down tends to be orderly but dumb. As a result the sweet spot for innovation today is "moving down," closer to the people, not up, because all the people together are smarter than anyone alone and all the people now have the tools to invent and collaborate.
