In 2019, Harvard's best engineers were getting their asses kicked by mosquitoes.

Not literally. But their self-driving car cameras kept missing fast-moving objects. Pedestrians would dart into peripheral vision and... MISS.

This is a $100 billion problem. Traditional cameras have tunnel vision. They see straight ahead really well, but anything moving fast on the sides? Good luck.

The team was stuck. Until someone looked up from their laptop and watched a dragonfly in the courtyard absolutely demolish a swarm of mosquitoes.

Here's the thing about dragonflies – they have 28,000 tiny eyes. Each eye captures a different angle. Together? 360-degree vision with zero motion blur.

Humans build ONE big camera and try to make it do everything.
Nature built 28,000 tiny cameras and made them work together.

So Harvard copied the dragonfly.

They built artificial compound eyes – thousands of mini-cameras working in parallel. The result? 90% less power consumption, no motion blur, and they can see everything at once.

Companies are now racing to commercialize this. Your next iPhone might see like a bug.

The lesson: The best innovations already exist. They're sitting in your backyard, flying around, eating mosquitoes.

Most entrepreneurs try to invent from scratch. The smart ones just copy nature's homework.

Next time you're stuck on a problem, go outside. The answer might be flying right over your head.
