Great post, a bit too long. Summary - Ideas do not fall into just good or bad. a) Dating Julia Roberts is a good idea, but its not feasible. b) A free email address that has no password or registration is a good idea. (read the article if you're curious) 4 types of ideas: a) "The obvious next" - ideas that follow logically from what's currently existing. b) "Now we're ready" - ideas that have a certain technology or other requirement before its possible. c) "infeasible" - ideas that are good but infeasible because technology/society/whatever is required not ready (its not a 'b' idea). Also ideas that have no money making business model fall into this category. d) luminary ideas - ideas that are unique and original not just to the thinker, but to the rest of the world too. These are rare. In short, work off of the 'b' and 'c' ideas, since technology is moving so fast. 'a' ideas are risky because you're competing with everyone else and a lot of luck/skill is required, and 'd' is out because lets face it, no one has them. 'c' ideas quickly become 'b' ideas - "You merely have to act on them first. Given how fast our technology advances, it's a good idea to perpetually reconsider infeasible ideas every now and then. You never know when an infeasible idea might become feasible."
