Summary of Tim Brown's Video

Tim Brown talks about how designers like Isambard Kingdom Brunel used to think big. Brunel designed the Great Western Railway and the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Brunel said he wanted his passengers to experience floating across the land. He imagined an integrated transportation system to connect the world. Brown suggests that Brunel used design thinking by integrating what humans need, with modern economics, and technological aspects. Tim Brown feels that the modern idea of design has been twisted from great thinkers with remarkable innovations; into designer glasses and sleek blenders. However he goes on to discuss how design is on to bigger, more important issues like global warming, health care, security, and what humans actually need. He concludes by explaining how design thinking urges us to focus on change.
