top 50 most innovative companies
 
https://www.fastcompany.com/most-innovative-companies/2018

Apple was ranked #1 and there are many other tech companies on the list. Do you believe these companies deserve these spots?

Personally, I think SpaceX should have been number #1 because they literally made landing rockets. And Apple created an overpriced and inferior device (HomePod) that is clearly the worse option to Amazon's Alexa and Google Home.

Among these lists, Nintendo being placed among the most innovative companies (it's on #18) is pretty surprising yet makes sense because Ninty has been making many consoles/handhelds that revolutionize gaming, like Wii, DS, 3DS and even the Switch, so Ninty totally deserve being one of them.

At times I have no idea why some of the companies in the lists made it, considering I never heard the names of several companies in the list before (like Square, Patagonia among others), but they should've made amazing feat if they're in. And Apple being on the top spot is understandable considering that it's one of the well-known tech makers. I wish Nokia did make it to the list though...

I can't take that list seriously at all, only because CVS health is on there and the reasoning.

I have several questions... who made this list? Where are companies like IBM or Intel? Google? Microsoft? Nokia? Motorola? Why is Apple first? If I had to choose a company between those, SpaceX would be the one to take the cake for me as well.

I find the idea that "bringing the boutique fitness experience home" is far more innovative than anything Microsoft or Google has done hilarious. I'm willing to bet real money that the people who made this list used Google to look some of these up. Real money, let's go.

I'll be honest: I had never heard of Fast Company until this list, and that's probably got something to do with it. Would not surprise me if the person compiling this list was either paid by some of these companies, or they just pay no attention at all to what innovation is.

I wouldn't trust a list like this unless it was from Forbes or another notable publication.

#7: CVS--"For cleaning up the aisles"

well shit, I wish that everyone thought that my scrubbing of school toilets and sweeping of school hallways was such an amazing thing, maybe then I'd actually get paid decently

To be honest, I'm having difficultly taking the list seriously too. Maybe CVS Health is on there for flu vaccines or something? Idk thats my only guess.
