CÓMO APRENDO...: La Semiótica es un buen desarmador para la Serendipia. (por ImagineroMacías)

La Serendipia no es un accidente, sino una necesidad de co-inversión humana

¿Dedicamos tiempo para que nuestras búsquedas colisionen?

En el siguiente libro se prometen ideas MUY interesantes sobre esta necesidad de tiempo y espacio dedicados para co-imaginar: ¿De Dónde Vienen las Grandes Ideas? de Steven Johnson

El libro mencionado está muy interesante.

Pego aquí el temario:

"1) The adjacent possible: The inventor must use the components that exist in his environment. Gutenberg used a wine press for his printing press. Engineers used analog vacuum tubes to make digital computers.

2) Liquid networks: Large cities, and now the Internet, make it possible for loose, informal networks to form, and these enable discoveries.

3) The slow hunch: It can take years for a hunch to blossom into a full-blown invention.

4) Serendipity: Some examples are mentioned: LSD, Teflon, Viagra, etc. Johnson argues that serendipity is not really under threat from Google, etc.

5) Error: This can also be a creative force. Lee de Forest's development of the audion diode and the triode was the result of erroneous thinking, and de Forest never understood how they worked. But the inventions changed the world.

6) Exaptation: Birds developed feathers to keep warm and regulate their body temperature and later used them for flight. Vacuum tubes were developed for long-distance telephone networks and radio transmission and were later used for electronic computers. This story was repeated with transistors.

7) Platforms: It's unclear what this word refers to. He gives the example of the development of the Transit satellite, a precursor ofGPS, by the Applied Physics Laboratory."
