terrorism a war disease education democracy and population and you put them in this order thinking that there's a logical sequence of how you might tackle these problems energy is at the top it's the most important if we can solve our energy problems then we can solve our water problems if we can get ourselves access to clean reliable affordable energy then we can desal the oceans remove water thousands or miles
Westinghouse and Tesla what I got excited about was that these were three people who each had the same job they were each these inventors and they tackled a lot of the same problems um most notably the light bulb they all worked on it except that they didn't I would imagine oh here are three guys they're super smart have the same job they work on the same problems they're interested in creating
The second thing that I learned in talking to these thought leaders about how to develop breakthrough ideas is the importance of what I will call tackling a worthy challenge. Now I do a lot a podcast interviews.
with the right problem, So I think it's fair to say that a lot of the biggest challenges in doing innovation is tackling or asking the right question, identifying the right problem."

I'm now just going to whiz through the chapter titles of some of the other chapters just to give you a feel for what other questions we tackle.

That's the hope. Um, but since I'm at Google today, I thought I would look at it from a slightly different perspective from how I tackle it in the book. I guess there's probably a fairly high concentration of computer scientists here and people who work with code and processors and things.
