www.ted.com People often credit their ideas to individual "Eureka!" moments. But Steven Johnson shows how history tells a different story. His fascinating tour takes us from the "liquid networks" of London's coffee houses to Charles Darwin's long, slow hunch to today's high-velocity web.

It's now 2020, and this is still a great idea.

"I have an idea for our organization, it will be useful in 2020". I hope this idea kick in for we are having a little bit of modern times problems.

i find that often times talking to people allows me to solidify my own thoughts/ideas, it feels like i am learning from myself

I get great ideas when I'm explaining something to someone else. I surprised by how naturally ideas forms when you go through with a strain of thought

One of the best TED talks of all time.

@DavidGitongawriter 10 лет назад

Eureka moments rarely happen and if they do, they have been cultivated for months, and sometimes years, before that eureka epiphany occurs. I agree with what the speaker says: You have one half of an idea and the other person has the other half and if you're in the right environment, they turn into something larger than the sum of their parts.

@lindsayd9584 2 года назад

I love how you have written this out I was trying to find the words myself.

@jamesduff6937 Год назад

Couldn't agree more that it might take many years. What I'd like to point out to people is that a very big idea/concept can have many eureka moments in them- some big ones and some small ones. And correct, they do turn into something larger than the sum of their parts.

El sputnik, los cafés, y los submarinos. Muy interesante, y bien relatado. Steven da en el clavo (no creo que sea el primero ni el último) de la generación de ideas, en relación a la importancia de los "espacios que generan conexión" y, además los "sistemas abiertos". ¡La historia del sputnik es genial! Thanks, Steve. Thanks, "Tedians"

@P00P0STER0US 13 лет назад

I like this a lot. It's funny how cool it is to have a concept you thought you understood turned at an angle and shown to you in slightly new light. Connecting the development of new ideas with the development of new networks, and studying the nature of these networks. Just a cool twist on an old thought.

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. This is something I need to think about further as I work out on my own on ideas that run around in my head over and over and I often get stuck. Thank you 'I need to get out and mix more'. My online project could be so much greater. Johnnie Lawson

Steve Johnson hits some gold nuggets on the mastermind effect. Could this video have been better? Sure, but if you are so distracted and willing to pick out the flaws and miss the diamonds in life well you will continue to come up short.

@ronaldramirez1325 6 лет назад

El vídeo de Steven Johnson es muy interesante, nos propone una secuencia de cómo hacer las cosas a través de un buen desarrollo, criterio, pero sobre todo creatividad, el ejemplo de Starbucks es muy claro y nos impulsa a convertir un pensamiento en una idea, debo mencionar que las ideas tienen un concepto muy amplio, pero es importante que se cumplan las características de las mismas, es difícil tener una idea pero no un propósito.

@ActiveDevelopment 8 лет назад

@oollmmann 13 лет назад

Open innovation and creating physical environments where we can both mingle physically and wiredly can be the key factor to shift the social complex system towards a different society where ideas and projects come together, emmerging and creating value by openly interacting among free and open individuals that look for the common colective good.

@youneslahsini1789 9 лет назад

that gave us motivation for more creativity and innovation .

@TransparentUtoptia 3 года назад

Reminds me of my Mindbank concept, open innovation sort of approach to solving problems, edification and reward based on contribution and merit, basically put a pile of money in the middle of the virtual table, and let the best problem solvers self assign a task, and other verify what that task is worth, and pay accordingly. Having people bring their strengths to the virtual table, and work independently and or together. We have enough brain power on this planet, but greed stifles innovation. Creating a model where people can come forward with their concepts, get the support they need from relevant experts (solving problems as a side hustle or just out of pure passion if cause/problem/opportunity means something to them), it's a rough thought but has legs eh?

@nVtheWolF 11 лет назад

She says something about letting introverts be exposed in an environment where they can comfortably express their ideas freely among others. Steven states that the idea is there, but the eureka moment occurs more often when people get together to talk about their mistakes and push through the mental blocks. He never said ideas don't come from being alone. He brought up Darwin for example and how his eureka moment was months of contemplating and research alone. In fact the idea starts off alone.

@human-connections 12 лет назад

ha ha @ 7:12 newton is all like oops my ball!!! but seriously great video!!! and great thoughts helped me :D

@16yearoldwhiteboy 11 лет назад

I might have to argue a point about the alcohol versus stimulants. Many of the greatest most genius musicians (such as piano players like Art Tatum, google him if you don't know him) drank insane amounts of beer. I think it helped him musically because it helped him get rid of his nervousness to be great (a psychological trick that works in music as long as you don't get carried away with the drinking).

@demetrius235 11 лет назад

They can be complimentary. For example in corporate R&D. On one hand, you need to have those regular meetings with colleagues to discuss your results and problems in an open, non-hostile environment. You also need the time to be able to go and read the literature for guidance, run your experiments, collect the data and develop an understanding of what it's telling you. Susan and Steve are not contradicting each other.

@DavidSabine (part 1) I'm impressed by your understanding and willingness to discuss - most YTers, including myself sometimes, are rather apt to go about pigeon-holing people. Yes, I agree - many of the teachers are brilliant and wonderful, and it's a shame they do their teaching in schools where their talent goes to waste.

Creating new ideas from living in a world where different connections are possible - stepping into what we don't know we don't know... It makes me think of Landmark Education... Highly recommend a thorough gander at them if this video piques you... they get mixed opinions from people who've never really taken it, but those who have, 9/10 say their life is better for it.

@lodproductions90 13 лет назад

@walkinhop Exactly, that is exactly how it works. As you said it, the resourceful guy meets the average guy with a brilliant idea and makes it happen. That is, by the way, why companies have constant meetings and encourage their employees to "brainstorm" their ideas. And that is why people like Steven Johnson encourage people to speak their ideas in coffee houses. Resourceful people just waiting for the fools who give them their ideas and make them into gold. :-D

@jakylili Keep in mind that what we know of as "germ theory" is a very recent development, with sewage treatment even more recent. People commonly used rivers and streams as both water sources and toilets. The sterilizing effects of alcohol were exceedingly important even though people did not know why it worked. The habit of boiling drinking water did not exist in Europe until the introduction of coffee and tea, both of which use boiled water which also sterilizes. But again, no one knew why.
