from the editor SHUTTERSTOCK Innovation comes when smart, opinionated people from all backgrounds come together to mingle and share ideas. Innovation: A Key to Survival I was so invigorated by Ben Stubenberg’s thought-provoking article, “TCI Tech: A Silicon Island in the Making?” What a fresh approach to TCI’s future — a vision beyond sun, sand, and sea! I especially connected with the idea that the Turks & Caicos Islands are one of those special places with the “mysterious alchemy that brings together smart, cocky people with the confidence and hunger to change the way we think and live.” Not surprisingly, this isn’t something new. Innovation has been the key to survival for all of the country’s inhabitants, whether human, fauna, or flora. Consider the Taíno Indians who managed to find a way to weave fabric from wild cotton. Or the Islanders of generations past, who had to eke out a living through farming, fishing, and ocean trade after being left behind when the cotton plantations on which they were enslaved failed. Even the coral reefs must be resilient (with help from mankind) to adapt to disease and climate change. The practice of Islanders gathering to debate ideas — sometimes rather forcefully! — is also nothing new. Many a shady spot, often beneath the branches of a large tree, is usually the occasion for a hot debate on the topic of the day. It’s exciting to imagine what can result when you stir in a global mix of expatriates and visitors, bringing their unique experiences to the table. I’m always gratified when this magazine can highlight people who are thinking, acting, encouraging, creating “above and beyond.” See Liz Cunningham’s ideas for “engaged hope” among communities, the Reef Fund’s new coral nursery, and South Bank’s iconic “suspended private villas.” Innovation is alive and well!
