Reflection 5 – Thinking: It’s a vicious circle.
The Question How has my thinking process changed as a result of the D.Studio? The question seems easy, but its answer is far from clear. Unlike a lot of other people, I don’t generally think much about how I think, so to answer the question I will make use of a personality test and my […]
Mini-Assignment 1a – TED Talks – Dance vs. PowerPoint: A Modest Proposal
A modest proposal: creative, innovative, game-changing, and a design-thinkers utopia; but to a black hat thinker, a far-fetched fantasy.

Food Problems
(http://www.ted.com/talks/birke_baehr_what_s_wrong_with_our_food_system.html) You know there’s a pretty big problem when an 11 year old is doing a Ted Talks on our food system.

Reflection 5
My perception of “good” thinking has definitely evolved throughout this course. I remember thinking during our first class when we had to do the “Business in a Backpack” exercise, “Wow, I haven’t done anything like this since elementary school. This is pretty cool!” Why is it that kind of creativity gets lost or isn’t fostered […]
Ted Talks – How Can Technology Transform the Human Body
It is crazy how advanced technology has become and this Ted Talks I watched proves there really is no limit and almost how scary it can be!
