Since the explosion of the knowledge economy in the 1990s, generalist inventors have been making larger and more important contributions than specialists.
One theory is that the rise of rapid communication technologies allowed the information created by specialists to be rapidly disseminated, meaning generalists can combine information across disciplines to invent something new.
Here, David Epstein explains how Nintendo's Game Boy was a case of "lateral thinking with withered technology." He also relays the findings of a fascinating study that found the common factor of success among comic book authors.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DAVID EPSTEIN:
David Epstein is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Range: Why Generalist Triumph in a Specialized World and The Sports Gene. He has master's degrees in environmental science and journalism and has worked as an investigative reporter for ProPublica and a senior writer for Sports Illustrated. He lives in Washington, DC.

TRANSCRIPT:
DAVID EPSTEIN: One of the researchers I spoke with was himself an innovator and was picked by R&D Magazine as the Innovator of the Year. But he also studied innovation. And what he found in studying patent databases is maybe a change in the importance of specialists and generalists over time. And he defined this by looking at people's work histories.
So, creators who are very specialized did all their work in one or a small number of areas of technology as classified by the US Patent and Trademark Office. Creators who were more broad spread their work across a large number of technology classes, sometimes merging many into one project. And since about the 1990s, the explosion of the knowledge economy, what he found was that these more generalist inventors, or sometimes they were even polymaths with some depth and breadth, were making larger and larger and more and more important contributions whereas the specialists, who were still very important, were often making less impactful contributions.
And he thinks that this is part of the rise of rapid communication technologies, that the information created in many cases by specialists is so rapidly and thoroughly disseminated that there are many more opportunities than ever before to invent something new by taking things that aren't new and combining them in new ways. And one of my favorite examples of this is a Japanese man by the name of Gunpei Yokoi, who didn't score well in his electronics exams so he had to settle for a job in Kyoto as a machine maintenance worker at a playing card factory while a lot of his peers went off to big companies in Tokyo.
He realized that he wasn't equipped to work at the cutting edge, but that so much information was easily available that specialists were overlooking that he could just combine older and well understood technologies in ways that specialists couldn't see because they didn't have a broad enough view. In doing that, he started a toy and game operation at that playing card company -- that playing card company is called Nintendo -- and he continued combining old technologies for his magnum opus, the Game Boy. All of the technology was long out of date by the time it appeared and yet it became the best-selling video game console of the 20th century.
Yokoi called his creative philosophy 'lateral thinking with withered technology'. What he meant by lateral thinking was taking information from one area that may not be new, but just bringing it somewhere else where suddenly it's new to that area, combining technologies in ways that other people hadn't. By withered technology, he meant this older, well understood, often cheaper technology so he didn't have to worry about competing at the cutting edge.
And that's a nice story, but I think it also fits with multiple studies of patent research that show in many cases the biggest impacts come not from the people who drilled the deepest into a technological class, but those who spread their work across a large number of technological classes. And incidentally, there are analogous findings in other industries. In a really interesting study of comic book creators, researchers guessed at what would make comic book creators make commercially valuable comics, and also what would make them more likely to make a blockbuster comic. And it was a great study because they could track...

Help. Please. Here's what's going on with your free writer lateral thinkes. Saying "people are going to do what people are going to to". That is trap math. Continues . . Negligence is harmful. Most people are only doing what they want, & what to please & impress, or for who in their peer group or range, 'not wanting to be bothered'. Doing & solving what we want, well, most people I think won't try or haven't the spare hand to help end this suffering. When a child is torn from their mother inhumanely, there may be some understand person she may grieve to. A card or something of 'sorry for your loss'. This is a life of torture, loneliess, never complete happiness, on & on, & usually, if anyone says anything to me, it's never comforting. They try to sound mature & confident as they say "she'll come back. A child has one mother. She'll grow up. Kids these days. Give her time. You should try to reach out". Yes with all the lack of love on the one hand, & the lack of support on the other, & 1 family member who cares about me, it is generally a thought a considered thing to suggest to me to keep being a friendly, helpful mum, tolerant of pain she could cause me. It seems to me she hates me. The last thing she said to me was she hates me. She wants sympathy sympathy sympathy and through things I've never meant as rude or nasty. She chose them, like chose Candace & other people.. like if they were worthwhile people then I was worth letting die alone to live as a writer & not ever ever feel ok. What if I wait all my life, never reprieved & never anyone knowing I wasn't what she's disguised me as, for what purpose I don't know. I need her to tell the person/people that what she'd said to make such strong point that no one should cherish or care about me or question what she says about me so to take 'her side' for her having taken 'their side', in lieu of my ever being ok, that she doesn't hate me, & doesn't even not love me. Maybe she needed years & years to let off steam. The older she gets, the longest she says what she says, she won't be able to say she'd been letting off steam for anguish we'd caused her. Every parent has caused their child to feel anguish at times. She's never nice to me. Never contacts me. Her hatred grows & doesn't stop growing. I stay away, & it gets worse. If I talk to her it gets worse. If I plead & cry, I'm called "that person". I don't like that Jake doesn't care she's so relentlessly keeping me dead to her & her world. When he's a father, is he going to play their children against me so long as she never take back a thing she's said, or says anything nice? "She gets massacred because she gets massacred" is trap math.

People only feel responsible for hurting people for having done something to hurt them, but if it hurts us when they do nothing, no one acknowledges how their neglect's cost a person. It doesn't only cost us to neglect us, but we also look like who in the crowd people kick to get to kick again. It's a "they get kicked because they get kicked" life for who gets kicked. It's like cursing someone to hell, & not a word is uttered in acknowledgement about this. It feels like slow murder when math folk not admit they treasure their own lives & fortunes they won't stop the trap math. It's like the daughter that always crushes the mother to keep the identity in tact. Will you do this all someone's life?

Why is it said that light travels at the same speed if you're stationary or moving, i mean if you're not even moving, still the earth is moving right or even the galaxy is moving, i mean According to what reference is anything's speed measured, nothing is truly stationary right? Somebody explain me that

[@arunavaghatak8614]

The statement "light travels at same speed whether you are stationary or moving" is meaningless because nothing can be described as solely "stationary" or "moving" . Things can only be described as stationary/moving with respect to some other thing. Whoever said that sentence to you thought that it will make it easier for you to understand the nature of light. But technically , that sentence is meaningless. Let me tell you what is really meant by that statement. Consider any two objects A and B. Suppose B moves with a velocity v with respect to A. Also let c be the velocity of a light particle ( photon ) with respect to A. Then the velocity that light particle with respect to B is also c . ( Only in magnitude. It's direction may change) This is true for any pair of objects A and B ( irrespective of the magnitude or direction of v ). In one line , we can say , " The speed of light is the same for all observers irrespective of his relative velocities with respect to other objects. " Also , why did you ask this question in the comment section of a KZbin video on a totally unrelated topic? Should you not have asked it in some physics forum ?

Most people who have multiple job experience, are generally incompetent. Most innovations happen to be useless deely-bobs. Most people who have long term commitments to A job (or what most self respecting people call "careers") will look at these flashy deely-bobs that keep cropping up, and tell you where you can stuff it. Quite often, the deely-bobs just cost money, and take up space for a rare hypothetical use; when the mantra, "some times shit just needs getting done" will work just fine. Having said that, I have to wonder. What percentage of these new (generalist developed) innovations actually have lasting impact? Rose tinted headlights is an innovation. Wasabi kit kat is an innovation. Hell... a silicone masturbation hand is an innovation.
