Today’s TED Talk Joi Ito: Want to innovate? Become a "now-ist"

"Remember before the internet?" asks Joi Ito. "Remember when people used to try to predict the future?" In this engaging talk, the head of the MIT Media Lab skips the predictions and instead shares a new approach to creating in the moment: building quickly and improving constantly, without waiting for permission. This kind of bottom-up innovation is seen in the most fascinating, futuristic projects emerging today, and it starts, he says, with being open and alert to what’s going on around you right now. Don’t be a futurist, he suggests: be a now-ist.
