The key is of course “the way we conceive it today”. And innovation, in that sense, will certainly become a commodity (and then perhaps even exhausted).

I agree also that our form of innovation could be called something else in the future and the real innovation then could refer to something at a more sophisticated level of new thinking/conceptualization or whatever.

If with innovation we mean something like adding a new a interesting function to a mobile phone, develop a new model or sell mobile phones in a unique way everybody will have that opportunity to do that in the future. This is the use of innovation that is popular today.

If we by innovation really mean new and unique thinking I agree that it never will be commodity since it is implicit in that interpretation of the conpect innovation.
