TED TALKS: Where good ideas come from

TED TALKS
"Steven Johnson: Where good ideas come from"
People usually think of good ideas as things that emanate from a single "Eureka!" moment. In this video Steven Johnson argues that most ideas are the result of a heterogeneous collection of minds sharing their findings (and failings).

Cool ideas from the video
- In his study where Kevin Dunbar sought to find where innovations take place in a scientific lab, Dunbar found most innovations come from weekly meeting where scientists share their results (actually mostly when they showed their mistakes)
-GPS resulted from a random group of scientists talking at lunch and sharing their ideas
- A new idea is a network of neurons in your brain firing in a way they never had before

Medicine, etc.

Tomoaki Kato, a transplant surgeon, performed a 23-hour operation termed 'ex vivo surgery', where all of the patient's abdominal organs are removed and then reimplanted in order to excise a tumor.

This reminds me of the TED talks about the advancement of medicine and anti-aging technologies we should see soon: Watch This.
