I will eventually write a report about our adventures teaching an innovation class to executives and entrepreneurs in the United Arab Emirates last week, but for now, I thought I would tell you about the camel races. Yousif AlYousif, our student and charming host (he took us out to smoke water pipes — honest, it was just tobacco), sent me a couple pictures of camel races. Note that the "jockeys" in the top picture are actually remote controlled robots, developed because too many riders — who are just about always children (see bottom picture) — were getting injured and killed.
