If there’s one innovation I truly admire, it has to be mobile money. It might not sound as fancy as some of the newer tech out there, but for me, it changed everything. The fact that you can send and receive money instantly, without going to a bank, is something I’ll never stop appreciating. It’s helped so many people, especially in places where banks aren’t close or reliable. Small businesses have grown, families get support faster, and people feel more in control of their money.
I love mobile money because it’s not just “smart”, it’s practical. You don’t need to be rich or tech-savvy to use it. Even with a basic phone, you can access your money safely. That’s real impact. That’s innovation that matters.
My second favorite innovation would be Google Maps. It sounds simple, but I don’t think we realize how much we rely on it. From finding new places to avoiding traffic or even just figuring out where you are, it’s a lifesaver. I’ve avoided being late (and getting lost) more times than I can count, just because of it.
But if I had the chance to create my own innovation, it wouldn’t be about money or convenience. I would build something that cures cancer, completely, no matter the stage. I say this because I’ve seen cancer take lives. I’ve seen the pain it causes, not just for the person going through it, but for everyone around them. It doesn’t matter how strong or good someone is, cancer doesn’t care. If I could create something that gives people a real, fighting chance, something that works without endless chemo or long hospital stays, I’d do it without thinking twice.
Sometimes, innovation should go beyond making life easier. It should give people more life, period.
I believe the best innovations are the ones that meet real human needs. Whether it’s helping someone send money home, find their way, or simply stay alive, it all matters. We just need more ideas that come from the heart, not just the lab.
