Inventions: Good Intentions Gone Bad
In my entrepreneurial and foresight classes I teach, we often talk about how some seemingly wonderful or harmless inventions have unintended results. I often refer my students to a “Stuff You Should Know” podcast about Agent Orange. If you are creating a product or idea, have you considered all future consequences. I highly recommend reading Jacob Silverman’s article at: http://www.howstuffworks.com/agent-orange.htm.
Why Josh and Chuck and the Stuff You Should Know Podcast is Awesome!
If you haven’t found their podcast yet, you must give it a try. Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant have a podcast titled Stuff You Should Know. I am very busy with my teaching and writing, but I always find time to listen to their downloaded podcasts. They are a very entertaining team, part of the “How Stuff Works” site at http://www.howstuffworks.com/. Josh and Chuck have recorded over 250 episodes with topics ranging from serial killers to cliff diving. Â
