Joi Ito: Want to innovate? Become a "now-ist"
wie Sie tun, machen, Film, Beispiel
"Remember before the internet?" asks Joi Ito. "Remember when people used to try to predict the future?" In this engaging talk, the head of the MIT Media Lab skips the future predictions and instead shares a new approach to creating in the moment: building quickly and improving constantly, without waiting for permission or for proof that you have the right idea. This kind of bottom-up innovation is seen in the most fascinating, futuristic projects emerging today, and it starts, he says, with being open and alert to what's going on around you right now. Don't be a futurist, he suggests: be a now-ist.

かっこいいーー!!

For the record any of the nuclear reactors did NOT explode...

Thanks Joi. And Ted show.

"Uncapeable"

While the actual subject material is interesting, it doesn't apply to most, but what does is his broadening of the subject near the end, introducing now-ism, something that applies to us on a personal level; that people shouldn't live for the future, but the now. And that's an idea worth spreading.
On the same token, we could've heard the same thing from any middle-ager: "Want to live? Become a now-ist". -
This is a genuinely interesting and probably important TED talk. It describes the birth of SafeCast and how a bunch of really smart people with a collection of essential skills quickly solved a series of serious problems as they emerged, to collaborate via the internet to create what I consider to be the most significant citizen science project in history.
He extrapolates this innovation model into some areas that I am not comfortable with at all, because it assumes that young people - with the help of the internet and maker-spaces and dorm-room gene sequencers - can create innovative solutions to complex ill-defined problems.
In many ways Ito and I take the same approach to innovation - I totally agree with "deploy or perish" and I totally agree on the premise that almost all we need to know is where we are trying to go and how to find the answers we need along the way. Compass over map. And that learning IS what we do, both to and for ourselves.
Unfortunately, I do NOT see this happening smoothly, or happening without a terrifying explosion of unimaginable, unintended and probably unmanageable consequences. Because what I call "wisdom" is not hardwired into the feedback loop. It is missing from the infinite now. I look at buildings designed by young architects and user interfaces designed by young designers, and I almost always end up shaking my head: the verdict = they have simply not LIVED long enough to be doing that kind of work unsupervised.
Three and a half years ago I was exploring teaching physics to high school students using Input Output modeling and LCA and EROEI and the adventure started with a direct challenge to the Socratic method and what I saw as its premise, that I saw as fatally flawed, that the teacher is qualified to list or to rank-order the problems that need to be solved, or the tools to use to solve them, or even to evaluate the solutions developed.
And yet somehow we need to get past the infinite now, and connect to the past, the same way that Richard Feynman's blackboard reminds us that we DO need to know how problems have been solved in the past if we are to design better solutions in the future.
I say that from the POV of someone who has spent most of his adult life innovating, because I did not see the majority of the problems around me as solved, or solvable using the tools that I saw being deployed in an effort to solve them. And yet, I still look back through my notebooks and I shake my head at the foolishness of an awful lot of what I see. -

Learning is what we do to ourselves!
Still can't eat IT. -
Did not understand what he meant. Can someone explain?
-
very nicely presented.

I can't wait to start growing chairs.

Hi

The comments issued in this video are much more wise than the talk.
Millions of students have to go through conventional education (dropout is not a choice for most) - only a handful may shine by their sheer intellect (coupled with opportunity at the right time). That does not mean that amateurs will succeed all the time. And conventional theorists are all nonsense.
But at least the talk is a bit better than the stupid Maths TEDs that I watched today. -
This guy is basically saying towards the end that we shouldn't learn things because we can consult sources on the internet? Does he realize how limiting that thought process is?? What if you lose access to the internet? What if you actually have to think for yourself? gasp
And this is coming from a guy who is on the internet all the time. I have adapted to it, seeing as I have been raised with the idea of the internet and globalization as positive concepts. Don't let the internet limit you just because you're lazy/impatient. School is important, learning abstract things and making connections you won't make autonomously is important!
