Unfocused Innovation
I just watched Evan William speak about Twitter on TED and despite my expectation I got a lot more than just some random info about Twitter from this talk. Check it out here: Evan Williams TED talk about Twitter
This talk made me think about the way I work (Im not speaking only about my job here). I work methodically, carefully, I manage my time and I approach things by prioritisation; this talk made me think about all the times I had ‘great’ ideas and it was certainly during times when I was definitely not ‘suposed’ to be focusing on these ideas.
Often when I used to have an assignment deadline or an exam coming up I would often start to procrastinate. Its nice to imagine that maybe my creativity comes out during procrastination. Simply when I am doing A and I think of B. Its also an interesting thought when I consider had I let my ‘organised model’ go at this point in time maybe all those B’s could have been really great things.
Time for B backtracking
Online Social Existence: TED.com
Although only showing professional videos, TED.com inspires ideas and creativity along with developing relationships. This technology is a personal knowledge repository for public voices which new concepts an
d ideas. The community however works in parallel to this repository because it provides further thought to these opinions. As a source the information found here is very deep, opinions are objective, open minded and honest. Not only does it connect people with common interest but it assists in exposing academic individuals and makes them reachable to the general public.. Commenting within this environment about someone like ‘Seth Goodin’ is much more validating that commenting in YouTube.com, because the community in this environment is more focused and more unique. Each individual has an accessible profile making them real and approachable.
The community improves knowledge and most certainly improves productivity. As videos are uploaded weekly information is dynamic and thoughts and perceptions are kept active. The TED.com site suggest hosting a TED session during a lunch break for example. It’s a great way to encourage thinking and information sharing on current up-to-date topics. This has now been proposed within x.loc for feedback from other individuals with the company.
And of course because I absolutely love Ted.com, you can find me here.
