Week 3: BRAINSTORMING

Ideas come about randomly, from doing crossword puzzles to bathing. Scientifically, all these happens thanks to our brain, an organic chemical called Dopamine is released.

Being responsible for most of that cause, this enables us to come up with ideas never commonly thought.

Recently, we gathered our thoughts on to a large piece of paper. I am  personally at awe to how much we can come out  our sickest minds and turn a impossible idea, plausible without much contradicting our thoughts and taking the initiative to jot our ideas down.

Indeed, ideas comes about only if we act, thus acting upon an idea becomes rather a constructive fundamentals in our idea in order to really work.

Come to think of it, being restrictive with our thoughts constricts us into bringing out what is supposedly brilliant idea of our own. Is it by law? or  maybe because we take pride in our very own comfort space so not to be rejected by society?

Perhaps, we should abide by laws but brilliance is braving the scales of that thin circumferential line of society at the same time, tickling others brains in persuasion.




Here are some ideas and inventions that made it into society:

The Gameboy by Nintendo :

As mentioned earlier about our natural egoistic manner, being on top of the food chain can never give us a better observation to a potential to how can a staple food be of better use.

   

The Dyson Fan:

Or rather, the blade-less fan. Recently a trend which was believed to be revived 20 years after(patent wise) which was believed to be an idea brought Toshiba Corp. Reasons unknown but whoever brought this idea back to life sure is 'brilliant'.

The Patton Chair:

Invented by Verner Paton, the design back in 50's was rather 'monotonous' and limited in its design due to the lack of technology not until the 60's pave way in creating such innovation. His designs did not win early in the era but eventually became influential due to its simplicity and convenience. The idea came about the matter of influence of his own.

Whisky Tooth Paste:

Absurd as it seems but early in the 20th century, many had an knack of futuristic themed innovation such as the radioactive toothpaste which came about upon discovery of the x-ray. There are still who thinks the opposite about radioactivity, these individuals came out with another solutions which is giving stronger potency to their daily commodities such as this. True enough, alcohol does literally kill bacteria but too much can simply means absurd, hence, this was one of those acceptable ones which might have broke the social norms.

The Lipstick Stencil:

When I say be Japanese, I literally meant be Japanese due to the fact that they have this 'unusual' way of shocking the crowd through their inventions. They focus mainly in modular designs without losing its edge in usability. And yes, we all can learn alot from them. Don't ask how they got those ideas but all i can say is, imagination. 

The Amphibious Bicycle:

Surely, early 20th century was at its peak of creating the craziest of ideas, as such this idea was never a foolish idea. Nevertheless, this was the start to break free from the restrictions of metaphysical science and aesthetics.

The Facebook:

There was Usenet, Mirc, Geocities, Friendster, then was Myspace, then came along Facebook. Social media networking plays an integral part of our lives presently but what is so special about Facebook? Mark Zuckerberg was a college dropout mainly due to the fact that his ideas was rejected by authorities within the community. Eventually, he brave out the idea thus came about a revolution. Indeed it became a flagship for the masses.

Pet Rock:

I first thought it was degenerative but hey, this is self explanatory. The idea brought about millions of dollars to the bugger who brought this 'innovation' by winning people who would want to...rather enchance their imaginations. Like they say, a true leader create leader.

In conclusion, ideas does not need to be physical nor scientific. For as long as you are able to win peoples hearts, it is as honest as serving people their plates to satisfy their daily needs.
