The most interesting idea that was stated in Johnson's TED talk would have to be when me mentioned how our ideas are just little spare parts or bits and pieces from other people's ideas that we form into our own new idea. This stuck out to me when he was talking about the infant incubator and how they used spare parts from a car to make the incubator. This TED was very interesting in how Johnson used stories, the he was not even there for, to explain his points across and better understood. I really enjoyed the story of the men who figured out how to locate where the satellite was and then from the satellite find an unknown place on Earth.
