Do you know the feeling when you are experiencing a 'brain wave' and lots of ideas are just keep up popping up in your head? This can happen after a hour of concentrated working or just happen when you are driving your car…
Well.. I like to distinct 3 ranges of brainwaves.
Event 1: On your own
You can experience a brain wave on your own. If you have a flow of ideas then in most occasions you haven’t got enough time and possibility to write everything down. Because of this you never use the full potential of your creativity.
Event 2: In a (small) group
You can experience this with a group on a specific geographic location. A lot of people cal this Collective Iintelligence. If your lucky multiple people are taking notes or someone is recording the event. It only takes place occasionally that a group of people are experiencing together a ‘common brain wave’ and that results are recorded efficiently.
Event 3: In a large group
You could have a experience where maybe thousands of people share and experience the same brainwave at the same time all at differtent places. This event could maybe never have happened before…
Gridthinking is about finding the technology to realize category 3 events and use this collective creativity to solve the difficult problems on our planet.
If we want to realize this we need a tool that helps us get control on all available streams of information and filter these streams for keywords and concepts that are the most close to our life, work, hobbies and other interest.
All information that's recorded in the world should be automatically gathered and ordered, so that you get control over the information you need to live and on a daily basis. This way you will never have to search for answers anymore. They will be automatically presented based on what you do at the moment or in the phase of your life.
Next to having al the necessary information in your face, you can also publish feedback back into these steams of information. This drops of feedback can grow into ripples and by floating true the ‘world wide information streams’ these ripples will soon be visible again in your ‘real-time filtered information stream’, so that you get answers and results from unlimited angles and sources.
