Text Quotes
I suspect millions of people from my generation probably have comparable stories to tell: if not of sports simulations then of Dungeons and Dragons, or the geopolitical strategy of games like Diplomacy, a kind of chess superimposed onto actual history. (Steven Johnson Quotes)
Popular culture, on average, has been growing more cognitively challenging over the past thirty years, not less. Despite everything you hear about declining standards and dumbing-down, you have to do more intellectual work to make sense of today’s television or games - much less the internet - than you did a few decades ago (Steven Johnson Quotes)
It is extraordinary how safe flying has become. You are now statistically more likely to be elected president of the United States in your lifetime than you are to die in a plane crash. What an amazing achievement as a society! But what we end up focusing on are the catastrophic failures that are incredibly rare but happen every now and then (Steven Johnson Quotes)
When it’s a sharing and improvisational meeting, where you’re riffing off other people’s ideas, that actually can be productive. (Steven Johnson Quotes)
The larger question is, as virologist Jonas Salk once asked, Are we being good ancestors? (Steven Johnson Quotes)
We are strangely biased, as individuals and media institutions, to focus on big sudden changes, whether good or bad - amazing breakthroughs, such as a new gadget that gets released, or catastrophic failures, like a plane crash. (Steven Johnson Quotes)
The problem is, there are definitely some genuinely lame things on television, and there’s more at the bottom of the barrel, because the barrel in a sense has gotten bigger. (Steven Johnson Quotes)
What you end up seeing when you look at history is that people who have been good at pushing the boundaries of possibility, and exploring those frontiers of good ideas and innovations, have rarely done it in moments of great inspiration. They don’t just have a brilliant breakthrough idea out of nowhere and leap ahead of everyone else. (Steven Johnson Quotes)
That’s the way progress works: the more we build up these vast repertoires of scientific and technological understanding, the more we conceal them. (Steven Johnson Quotes)
What’s encouraging is that the early new platforms - Kindle and iPad - are clearly leading to people buying more books. The data is in on that. (Steven Johnson Quotes)
If you look at history, innovation doesn’t come just from giving people incentives; it comes from creating environments where their ideas can connect. (Steven Johnson Quotes)
What I’m saying is individuals have better ideas if they’re connected to rich, diverse networks of other individuals. If you put yourself in an environment with lots of different perspectives, you yourself are going to have better, sharper, more original ideas. It’s not that the network is smart. (Steven Johnson Quotes)
We need to play each others instruments (Steven Johnson Quotes)
When you don’t have to ask for permission innovation thrives (Steven Johnson Quotes)
That strange new zone between medium and message. That zone we call the interface (Steven Johnson Quotes)
We are often better served by connecting ideas than we are by protecting them (Steven Johnson Quotes)
Being right keeps you in place, being wrong forces you to explore (Steven Johnson Quotes)
The fusion of art and technology that we call interface design (Steven Johnson Quotes)
Chance favors the connected mind (Steven Johnson Quotes)
In a peer network, no one is officially in charge. It doesn’t have a command hierarchy. It doesn’t have a boss. So, all the decisions are somehow made collectively. The control of the system is in the hands of everyone who is a part of it (Steven Johnson Quotes)

Organizations that empower folks further down the chain or try to get rid of the big hierarchal chains and allow decision making to happen on a more local level end up being more adaptive and resilient because there are more minds involved in the problem (Steven Johnson Quotes)
Most of the time, criticism that takes pop culture seriously involves performing some kind of symbolic analysis, decoding the work to demonstrate the way it represents some other aspect of society (Steven Johnson Quotes)
The patterns are simple, but followed together, they make for a whole that is wiser than the sum of its parts. Go for a walk; cultivate hunches; write everything down, but keep your folders messy; embrace serendipity; make generative mistakes; take on multiple hobbies; frequent coffeehouses and other liquid networks; follow the links; let others build on your ideas; borrow, recycle; reinvent. Build a tangled bank (Steven Johnson Quotes)
Every childhood has its talismans, the sacred objects that look innocuous enough to the outside world, but that trigger an onslaught of vivid memories when the grown child confronts them (Steven Johnson Quotes)
When it’s a sharing and improvisational meeting, where you’re riffing off other people’s ideas, that actually can be productive (Steven Johnson Quotes)
The adjacent possible is a kind of shadow future, hovering on the edges of the present state of things, a map of all the ways in which the present can reinvent itself (Steven Johnson Quotes)
If you look at history, innovation doesn’t come just from giving people incentives; it comes from creating environments where their ideas can connect (Steven Johnson Quotes)
