Where do good ideas come from? Steven Johnson.
Slow hunch
Time to incubate
Social spaces
Spaces/environments
Different spaces and environments can give you different ideas, for example if you are in a library then you can come up with more ideas than somewhere isolated like a bedroom etc.
Collision of two half ideas
This where somebody has come up with a certain part of an idea but is missing a part and then one of their peers has the other side of the idea therefore these two people go together well, for example like a puzzle where two pieces fit together.
Systems that allow half ideas
Internet
The internet has its pros and cons of good ideas.
Pro- they can offer you new ideas and improve your ideas and expand on them.
Con- the internet can also be seen as a distraction and can distract you from your work so therefore there is a good side and a bad side.
