Don'T worry about people stealing yur ideas. If your ideas are that good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats. – Howard Aiken

One view of innovative ideas is that they come from collaboration, at the intersection of social worlds.

What is a "social world?"

It is a group of people who see the world from a similar point-of-view. This could be because they grew up in the same town, because they are all nurses, all college professors or any group. Of course, nurses can be college professors and come from small towns, so we are usually in many social worlds.

You live at the intersection of social worlds, and the more worlds you are part of, the more ideas you will be exposed to. Innovation is the synthesis that comes from you. To be part of new worlds, we have to learn their language. This section of the website is here to offer a door into other worlds. The ideas that you find here will be your own.
