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 came here for this comment, thank you

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.

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.

One of the best TED talks of all time.

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

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"

I have to write 4 pages on the main idea of this video. FML

I purchased his book on this topic right after watching this video. What a great speech!

This is the genius of TED. Beautiful. After a couple of average speakers, TED is finally back!

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.

I Love how he wraps it up in the end. Great Talk!

"Chance favors the connected minds" ~ an awesome way to finish the talk

I enjoyed watching this so much. I came here from my management class and boy, i learned so much!

Are good ideas like happiness. You spend so long looking for it before you realise you had them it the time, just needed someone to share it with.

By some (good) chance I found this channel...connecting me to the wonders of connection. If only more cafes existed where thoughts were shared , and not just within one's group.

Interesting concept for idea creation. He made me think about the environment around me and how they influence the way we think and in turn how this effects the ideas we come up with! Anthony Carco

Thank you Steven Johnson and TED.

"chance favours the connected mind" love it.

I think the fact that you watched this on the internet, and we're having a dialogue about it here (oti) answers that question with a great affirmation!

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.

Watching for English class

introverted people like myself I find to be more innovated, and thinking alone is thinking alone no matter where, so well put words

This was so interesting, very well spoken.

For a ten-hours-of-brilliance discussion of this same topic, watch James Burke's Connections series (from 1979).

Blown away by this talk. Wow.

This is what I call the art of confused creativity (or if you prefer - creative confusion).

That was great information! Thank you so much for sharing it. Napolean Hill, in his Think and Grow Rich and Master Key to Riches, says when two minds come together a third mind is formed. Here's to collaborative thinking!!

GREAT VIDEO! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT

“I have an excellent idea for our organisation, it will be useful in 2020” Management should have listened to this guy.

15:09 the Hunch over Lunch, awesome how things build to better ideas

AWESOME TED TALK! Finally something substantive, rather than a puffy thing.

So informative and creative i like it so much to listen it.

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?

Great video, highly recommended!

Interesting talk... I'll have to check out his book when it comes out.

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.

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.

that gave us motivation for more creativity and innovation .

Chance favors the connected mind! Awesome :D

Yes!

"chance favors the connected mind" I like that.

I think I remember that intial setup with switching from beer to coffee, depressant to stimulant and more ideas formed.

@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.

finding people who listen is key.

Great talk! great book!

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

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.

This guys very clever! This is the first time I've heard anything from him.

this show is awesome...

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).

Well put, and this leads to a question society must first acknowledge, then answer: Who benefits from academia judging ideas by how fearsome they are, when knowledge usually brings understanding, empathy and a sense of security? A.G.

Amazing!

I've had the flash the stroke their finding. Stroke of genius I call it

Wonderful. I believe we are still in the Enlightenment. It's just moving a lot faster nowadays.

We are all very fortunate to have such a loving God who can provide us with great ideas!

this very interesting video man loved it

@NicosMind can you please tell me where I can find those lectures you speak of?? They sound interesting.....

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.

Awesome!

Love this!!!!!!

awesome!!

his theory works with creativity as well, music for me.

This is very true!

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.

By the end, it kinda puts a whole new spin on "The Internet Generation." Bravo! :}

wonderful :)

I love you all!!!

i had idea to watch this video... what a great idea!

@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.

i love it!!

Great talk! Has anybody read his book?

chance favours the connected mind wow that makes so much sense

I have this great idea for 2020.

excellent

What a great speaker. Not once did he utter, "uhhh", or, "ummmm". Unless this was edited, he knew exactly where he was going all the way through his speech.

Nice Idea inspiring talk.

This is why I've come to love TED!

wonderful thought...but i believe the great ideas are popped into the surface of the mind in a man's quiet moment....it just gets nurtured in the process of connecting the idea into the "liquid" network.

great!

@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

"That's what your office should look like." First requirement accomplished :)

it's almost like he's saying two minds are better than one. imagine what humans could have achieved if we'd been aware of this amazing notion from prehistory. we'd have civilisation and everything. mindblowing.

Incrível 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Great!

Chance favors the connected mind. I now realize why phd students in a research group I once worked at often lunch together and drink coffee together

Very good thinking there, get past the silly negative comments, quiet insightful.

That is so true bro xD Both the shower and toilet XD

Could be summed up in one thing =Open Source This is the very thing that makes it great

O acaso favorece a mente conectada! - Steven Johnson

great ideas use available and modern tech and use it more efficiently or just better, simple.

Last time I shared an idea with my boss and coleagues I got fired and none of my coleagues speaks to me anymore - true story. Now I just learned to keep my mouth shut :(

Could certain video games stimulate creativity, mental flexibility and innovative problem-solving?
