Accidentally discovered items/things include: vulcanised rubber and nylon. Vulcanised rubber came as a result of research being done into developing non-perishable rubber, for which vulcanisation was a solution. In contrast... nylon wa

To me, this is a classic example of a change in medium renewing a creative individual’s creative drive. Similar examples from literature are legion. From Picassos move from painting to collage (giving us Cubism), to the Beatles employing th

On a related subject, most of the images in an IKEA catalogue are now entirely digitally generated. One reason this is so is to allow for slightly different content to be delivered country to country (change of wall colour, different wall f

The article and its associated paper did not really engage me. Perhaps I am missing something. However, I was reminded of something that I learned when taking drama lessons as a teenager, and which I have used as a teacher. Our attention of

I also enjoy (require) my morning walk. 4.5 km through the streets of Ho Chi Minh City. I do my best problem-solving whilst walking, and I know I am not the only one. Check out this excellent site on the habits of creative people: https:&#

True.. it was not the first. But it was I believe the first portable one that was capable of playing an entire cassette tape from beginning to end. It was the new generation rare earth magnets that enabled this.

One totally genius design feature of the Walkman was the fact that it had two headphone jacks. Together with music ripping and mix tapes, this was the beginning of music sharing, and eventually the downfall of the monolithic music industri

Well... maybe not here in Asia. The only time they will be introduced to western historical figures is in their design history class, of which there are likely to be no more that two. They would certainly never hear it at high school. Also,

James Clark Maxwell is one of the Demi-gods of Colour science. He produced the first Colour photograph, and was the first to quantify Colour. Every time you define an RGB value, he is sitting on your shoulder.

One of the weirdest research project I ever got involved in was 'Real-Time Feedback System for Monitoring and Facilitating Discussions'. Using a game engine as the platform, it used dance-off moves to visualize social interaction

I love this paper for the systematic approach it applies to a problem that all drawing teachers face. At the heart of the problem is a simple paradox... that a line can somehow symbolise light, texture and even colour. This paper is not per
