Download Inventology: How We Dream Up Things That Change the World AudioBook Free
A dad cleans up after his child and imagines a glass that won't spill. An engineer watches people using walkie-talkies and comes with an idea. A doctor understands how to deliver patients to the operating room before they pass away. By studying innovations like these - the sippy glass, the cell phone, and an ingenious hospital foundation - we can understand how people think about their ways around "impossible" problems to find groundbreaking answers. Pagan Kennedy reports on how these enduring methods can be modified to the 21st century, as millions of us deploy tools like crowdfunding, big data, and 3-D printing to find concealed opportunities. Inventology uses the reports of inventors and astonishing research to disclose the steps that produce invention. As Kennedy argues, recent advances in technology and communication have located us at the cusp of an golden era; it's now more possible than ever before to transform ideas into reality. Inventology is a must-listen for designers, performers, makers, and anyone else who is interested in creativity. By identifying the steps of the technology process, Kennedy discloses the imaginative tools required to solve our most challenging problems.
