From Condom to Soccer Ball

I’ve become fascinated with the product innovation happening in the developing world. It’s remarkable what people can do with a some scraps and a lively imagination. For instance, a few days ago I was sitting in on a final presentation at Art Center, where students were working on a water purification / eco-tourism project in Guatemala. In one of the presentations a student presented a construction method for building up cement walls. Locals would use used plastics bottles, stuff them tight with trash, and use that as a filler substrate for cement walls. Genius! And in the example below, kids in Africa are making soccer balls out of a condom and some left over yarn and textile scraps.

How We Decide

admin — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 07:03:22 +0000

By Johan Lehrer

The horse and charioteer. The emotional and the rational. Everyday we battle against these portions of our brain to make decisions. Johan Lehrer, journalist and neuroscientist, dives into why we make the types of decisions we do and how challenging conventional methods of decision making can prevent us from making new mistakes. He describes how valuable the emotional side of our brain is in making decisions because after-all, experience is disguised in the subconscious act of emotional thinking. And what is experience exactly? Expectation to it’s outcome. This is just the very surface of richly fascinating book that everyone should go out and get.
