Reflection: Where Good Ideas Come From[Steven Johnson] & What I've learnt in class this week[Brainstorming]

I've learnt a lot from this video and I guess the challenge that Steven Johnson said most of us faces had made the most impact. "How do we create this environment[where good ideas come from] to allow those ideas to come into view.".
He said the environment that good ideas trives are not where people work alone and discover it themselves. On the contrary, good ideas trives where people meet up and discuss about their ideas. They may not discover that they have that idea at that point in time but maybe a few days or even weeks later at work, play, or even at home. Its the interaction that people made, it served as a catalyst.
So I'm guessing that in order to have a better chance at coming up with a good idea, a connective mind is crucial, people have to meet, and discuss about their ideas, be open with them, never holding back, because you'll never know a nonsensical saying to you might inspire another to form a unique idea in their minds.
Ending off this post quoting Steven Johnson "Chance Favours the connective minds.".
Maybe someday, I'll find a café, strike up a random conversation with someone and come up with something great. hopefully something that would benefit today's society.


What I had learnt in class this week:I learnt about brainstorming as a group this week. I find it a messy, yet fun process at the same time as the idea after the next that my group members and myself contribute are unexpected and random at the same time. I guess that's what makes an original idea , not by oneself but as a group. I think this exercise is very meaningful as it made us think out of the box, challenging us to think more in depth or we will not be able to complete the task assigned.
