Inventing without a purpose: Steven M. Johnson at TEDxIndianapolis

Inventor/cartoonist Steven M. Johnson, born 1938, has created a "line" of alternative products and systems, including cars with closets and chaise lounge lawn mowers. His talk centers on his creative technique of "thought-spinning", a process of speeding up normal perception of everyday visible things and mashing them with distorted and dissimilar things. This mental mixer has resulted in a lifetime of unplanned forays into imagining the future. His books include: What the World Needs Now; Public Therapy Buses, Information Specialty Bums, Solar Cook-A-Mats and Other Visions of the 21st Century; and Have Fun Inventing. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
