6 Billion Ideas

Have you ever wondered how many ideas, how many thoughts, are circuling the globe right now, in a single moment?

There are approximately 6 billion people in the world. If every person had an idea a minute, every minute there would be 6 billion ideas in the world. 6 billion ideas. 6 billion completely different thoughts and ideas all at one time. One person might have an idea of ordering chinese food for dinner, and one person might be solving a scientific formula to invent the ultimate vaccine.

what if everyone came together... and everyone in the world thought about the same problem at the same time. we would have 6 billion ideas, 6 billion possible solutions to a problem. what if we got everyone connected, either physically or via phone or via skype and we said "what can we do to solve world peace?" okay so this is a cliche and never ending question to solve, but we would get 6 billion ideas in a minute. and by everyone hearing each other, more ideas would generate, and maybe somewhere in the midst of billions of ideas, we'd find the solution.

maybe it's time the world came together to solve problems creatively together.
